doomsday dawns

Doomsday dawns
Humanity cries out ‘I’m just not ready yet!!’’
Doomsday yawns, ‘’but I told you I was coming, sent word ahead. And Mother Nature concurs, your credit’s all been spent.’’
‘’There must be some way out,” Humanity laments, ‘’a deal to be struck? A carbon offset??’’
Mother Nature solemnly shakes her head. ‘’Tough love is the key I fear, the only way for Humanity to hear. There’s a bucket in the shed.”
