the pictures from the ISS
make it very clear
to everybody with a TV screen
or a computer
our earth is a globe
and blue
and finite
and in a delicate balance
determined by more factors than even
our most sophisticated computer simulations
can so far figure out
it makes you wonder
why
of all people
those who surely own more than one TV screen
and a couple of notebooks & cetera
are the ones who deny
that they are
destroying our rain forests
polluting our rivers and seas
poisoning our environment
ruining our lives
deadening our minds
maybe
if they dare to set forth
even a step or two
from their isolated gated habitats
and walk in the real world
they have created
they are able to begin
to understand
