A Look at the Future; A Poem by Dan Gowin

We are at the crossroads. Do we engage in the future and realize what mankind has to offer? Or do we continue the cycle of torment and fear? Mankind has finally realized that we live on a ball of molten rock. That we are but beings living on a crust. A crust in Hawaii that is only 7 kilometers thick. And a World that 70% of its surface is covered by water. If we put together the Heat and Water, mankind can achieve the dream of a infinite power source. Infinite heat, electricity and transportation fuel (hydrogen, ammonia). Or do continue with the age-old battle for the Earths finite resources? Do we continue to battle for the Oil, gas, coal, lithium, cobalt, uranium? Which is it? Continual conflict? Or peaceful existence for the next million years?
