NTE + K-R

Near Term Extinction and Kubler-Ross

1 Denial

Pressure will build up within,

Till deniers, to their chagrin,

Learn when everything shatters

That nothing much matters

So fast it makes their heads spin.

2 Anger

Abruptness in learning the deal

Affects anger at loss people feel;

Minds more blown apart

Are more ready to start

An orgy of horror surreal.

3 Bargaining

Bargaining’s sort of a plea

For some kind of get out of jail free,

But with doom more compelling,

There’s no way of telling

How far out the offers might be.

4 Depression

When there’s less time to digest

How seriously everything’s messed,

We’ll see introduction

Of more self-destruction

And what not from being depressed.

5 Acceptance

Support will likely be small

When we smash into the wall;

Doom is complex,

And folks will be wrecks,

With no time to process at all.

So what’s new about this disaster?

It’s simple; there’s not much to master:

It’s our basic foundation

With amplification,

Evolving faster and faster.
