laying asphalt
a long and winding road
toward eruption
With all the lack of care
consumerists can muster
skyward plumes
subterranean ash falls
along our path
But what do we care when there’s
so much more to make our own
last lava flow
extinction

Too true, Rob. And we will weep when we finally experience those consequences in full. Thanks!

The last lava to flow is a chilling thought. I like the formatting of this poem, Frank.
