In the end, it will be true sustainability or system collapse

by Lucio Reinaldo Muñoz Toledo

There
was a time when a magic invisible hand

Was thought to have a perfect love affair
with demand

Distributing that way the spoils of the
market,

Until it went into disarray.



Today, we live
in a time where the mainstream thought

Is to transform a brown bull into a green
goat

In order to achieve eco-economic
sustainability,

Ignoring the screams of local and global
social inequality.

 

There will come a time

When humanity will accept to have been
wrong for a long-time,

When the only way out of the generated
social calamity

Will be the then more difficult choice,
“system collapse or true sustainability”.

 

Let’s hope that the rational man, "Times New Roman","serif"">

Who has so far acted as an irrational
gentleman,

Makes then the right choice "Times New Roman","serif"">

So that he can survive and future
generations can rejoice.
