Thea : Cogitator 10 years to live

10 years to live

Posted on Sep 5th, 2006 by Thea : Cogitator Thea

What would you do if you only had 10 years to live?

Would you quit your job?
Would you spend your retirement fund?
Would you make phone calls to old friends and relatives, let them know you loved them?
Would you leave your mark on the world or.....
Would you just go on as before? Could you do it?

What if it was your family that had only 10 years to live?

Could you look at your son or daughter knowing they would not reach maturity?
Could you care at all how much you have saved for them?
Would you take them on lavish vacations with your seed money and IRA funds?
Would you help them make their mark on the world or.....
Would you just go on as before? Could you do it?

What if it was your neighborhood? Your country?
What if the human race only had 10 years to live?


Would you look out and finally see the sunset?
Would you finally start appreciating the irony of your life?
Would you finally see that we're not lving, but dying a slow and painful death?
Would you try to change your fate, make the world a better place, not this dooms-day machine, this ticking time bomb, or.....
Would you just go on as before? Could you do it?

Of course you could, that's what you're doing right now.

The question on my mind today is.... why would you want to?

Ice Cores - 10 year meltdown

Mother Earth is a Vicious Crowd (LIVE - Mental Jewelry)

Pollution, cain and misery
oceans of golden mystery
armies boisterous and armies loud
portraits of a vicous crowd

talk to me, talk to me now
hey man, you're all that I have
hey man, you're all that I have

Me, myself, myself and I
We're born to work and born to die
I have chosen my anthems
of these I am proud
portraits of a divided crowd

talk to me, talk to me now
talk to me, talk to me now

Your Yorkshire Post article is of course just the tip of an iceberg so to speak - we must continue to talk about ALL of this and perhaps investigate new ways of addressing the problem.
