When the day comes When the rainforest is burnt to none and they, for a dollar sum, stoop to petty catastrophe When the oceans hold more plastic than water and it's too late for the dolphins to stage a coup When the skies glow grey-orange with smoke and disappointment and each breath tastes of the same When ever more radiation burns through; it's too much to hope we'll evolve superpowers - Oxygen Woman and the Amazing De-Plasticizer to the rescue When the oceans rise and the land quakes in protest and from their tussles produce countless tsunami When drought and flood escalate and tempests multiply; and there's no safe place left to live your life in ignorance When we're almost all extinct; not that far away some think When the end is unavoidable, will they see it then? There's no insurance you can buy for the end of the world

When the day comes
When the day comes When the rainforest is burnt to none and they, for a dollar sum, stoop to petty catastrophe When the oceans hold more plastic than water and it's too late for the dolphins to stage a coup When the skies glow grey-orange with smoke and disappointment and each breath tastes of the same When ever more radiation burns through; it's too much to hope we'll evolve superpowers - Oxygen Woman and the Amazing De-Plasticizer to the rescue When the oceans rise and the land quakes in protest and from their tussles produce countless tsunami When drought and flood escalate and tempests multiply; and there's no safe place left to live your life in ignorance When we're almost all extinct; not that far away some think When the end is unavoidable, will they see it then? There's no insurance you can buy for the end of the world
A bit of doom and gloom for today, best followed with cat gifs
