DEVOLUTION
The television shows me what the earth will do with the
minor revision of Life after People. I think it an accurate portrayal of the
earth reclaiming habitat destroyed for the comfort of men. What I do not
understand is why then this is played on History and not Science Channel. If it
were Life after Humanity the History Station would be proper placement of programming.

ALCATRAZ STATE OF
MIND
Running from the rain never worked well for me. Seems no
matter how much I twist and turn, if rain were fire, I’d every time get crisply burned. Escaping madness to survive is not as easy as running between
tongues of flame; for it would appear no matter which way I die in the fire,
insanity has arrived an hour afore my bier.

From your two thoughts it would seem that it is madness to survive.
ReplyDeleteCarleton we believe in self survival only because all of our live we are taught it is our strongest instinct. I believe we have been taught wrong. Our strongest instinct is to know love.
Deleteha. i have watched those tv shows....it seems like a much more peaceful place in the after, you know...smiles....
ReplyDeletewhen i go, i want a viking funeral so bring on the fire...and escaping the madness most certainly is not
Given the scenario Brian of a planet with no humans I think I would like to be a sequoia tree.
DeleteDead, viking funeral, OK as long as whoever shoots the arrow to set the pyre afire has a permit and a steady aim. Seriously though what difference does it make it's not like you'll be there to strike the match eh?
I can just say this is good writing. Rain as fire is quite an image when keeping dry is the goal
ReplyDeleteI don't know what's to become of me, mark. I'm at the least glad I have people to love and battles to wage
Love
kj
kj Maybe it's time to stop waging battles and just go after the love?
DeleteI don't believe anything I hear or read, and very little of what I see!
ReplyDeleteA self aware person is a good one in my book.
DeleteI enjoyed that Life after people show. I'm a fan of post apocalyptic fiction anyway.
ReplyDeleteYep Charles post apocalyptic reality is a bit hard to bear, even if it doesn't touch me personally.
DeleteRevisionist history? I wondered the same thing.
ReplyDeleteInsanity gets around. It's quite amazing that way.
Alice all history is revised as time goes on until we get to the point where the final revision is done because no one knows the truth anymore. Insanity is not a virus but it sure as hell travels fast.
DeleteI can only imagine nature's huge sigh of relief when she gets to reclaim all the space we've filled with our junk.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm glad rain isn't fire or I'd be one scorched woman!
I say 10,000 years to completely heal the planet to pre-human domination Talon.
DeleteI think we all have little scorch marks and scars earned on our way through life.
History has little to do with the History Channel.
ReplyDeleteWell jeff i can't watch Duck Dynasty or Pawn Stars 24/7
DeleteHow else would the History Channel get anyone to watch Ice Road Truckers and Ax Men?
ReplyDeleteI dunno Galen since the invention of the remote control...
DeleteI always used to read post in news papers but now as I

Life after humanity will be consisting of insects ... yes, bugs ... of any kind ... for sure.
ReplyDeleteInsects are prey, they will be a necessity for predators.
DeleteMiss you, Walking Man, where are you?
ReplyDeleteI'm here. right here, been nowhere else but here just doing what I do here. But aren't you the sweetheart for caring, thank you.
Deletemother earth has been trying to [still is, with floods, volcanoes, quakes] rid herself of the plague of mankind... not sure she'll succeed before mankind destroys the planet :(
ReplyDeleteWell it won't be much longer that we can continue to fight with the loss through fire of so many sq. miles of green and such huge sections of calving ice sheets from the glaciers as they melt.
DeleteA fine mess we live with, but isn't that the existential point?
ReplyDeleteBut we could change our ways Erik and thereby change our existence factor but then there is reality to consider.
DeleteMark, I am a love driven simpleton. Works for me! xo
