Preservation

 


Is it possible that science has changed the world and its face forever?

I often see my friends going on pension, yet they are so young 

when I was a kid I attended the parties of those

who were old and were finally finished with their alarm clocks forever 

through a child’s eyes, they looked like old shriveled prunes

but now it seems… 

as I\'ve grown older myself 

pensioners are a new breed of young 

be it young at heart or physically fighting fit 

something has slowly but surely paved our way of life

leaving us if we are very lucky with health and a bit of wealth

to actually enjoy our later years 

with more opportunities than ever before

science and research playing an enormous part in this reality 

sometimes I think humans don\'t understand this fact?

keeping our world clean truly is in the greater interest of all mankind? 

and all we have to do as humans, is to honor this fact? 

leaving our planet with clean air 

clean streets and clean minds

our planet is not for the convenience of nuclear waste

that\'s being thrown into holes under goodness knows where?

with the official nod of one of our pensioners

who holds a title of what should be of dignity and pride yet it\'s not?

who may one day decide to press a red button and kill it all?

life has so much more to offer than war?

otherwise what’s the purpose of anything?
