Damned poets of peace.
In a hundred years
None of us will remain
Of stoic White
Or godly Green.
No dust of any color
Will sing one refrain
Of our Circus Maximus
In Twenty Sixteen.

The actions of the present (especially when it comes to the deforestation, mass extinctions, and changes of the chemistry of the sea from the now fully operational Anthropocene epoch) will be spoken of for centuries, or at least the ripples of our selfish stupidity ringing out from here will be. This Circus is gonna leave mark much more noticeable than two vast and trunkless legs in the sand.
