The human race existed
With the certain supposition
That his death as an idividual,
His mortal appearance,
Was submitted to
The immortality
Of man as a specie.
This changed with the opening
Of Pandora's ox
In Worldwar II.
The validity of
The belief was withdrawn.
We now live in borrowed time.
The damaging of the opponent
Was restricted.
Now ransom can be demanded.
For earth's atmosphere,
The most obvious clue
Of man's pathology,
Is the opposition of
His unique
Technological mind
And his inability
To solve social problems.
