Both are sad thoughts, but real.

Sadly that is not going to happen. Exloration may take place but nowhere near enough will be livable. It would be far easier to mend our ways and make the Earth sustainable by protecting water sources, protecting the seas from pollution, stop using fossil fuels that affect the atmosphere and maintain a balance in nature and most importantly stop killing each other as that is so costly and wasteful!Old Egghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727444489103758018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057172956502874716.post-30952518109423700282017-06-11T18:30:54.877-06:002017-06-11T18:30:54.877-06:00Why does it have to be this way?

The question that confronts us all. It's easier to ignore it, of course, and just get on with our daily business until there is "no time to spare." Then the game's up, and not only is the old house empty, but so are we. <br /><br />This is a hauntingly beautiful poem, Annell.
