fathomless

Club of Rome bigots;
Cling joyously to our doom:
Malthus is still dead

One Single Impression: Prompt 76: Ocean

I'd say we've got oceans of breathing room:

Deliver to me, dripping wet on the mat, the 100 billion humans who have ever lived in the last 50,000 years.

And now weigh up all the dinosaurs which ever lived over a quarter billion years (that's 5,000 times longer by the way).

  1. Oceans of breathing room adds large dimension, fits with the math of the past. The haiku is strong with warning. Great job!
