Dark times

These seem to be dark times

The ancients foretold

Of the Kali Yuga

A time where humanity would careen so close

To the fires of destruction

We might just burn ourselves and the planet alive

Are we like Icarus

The generations who chose

To fly too close to the Sun

Or burn up all the ozone

With our machines

Leaving behind the darkness and chaos

Of an unintegrated past?

Could it be that the darkness

So many of us now feel inside our own hearts

Is a warning

The earth is on fire

Crying for us to save it

But will we be able to find a way

Before it is too late

A way to heal through the burning

A way towards awakening

Within the flames

A way back to love?
