It Will Hit Them First

“it will hit ‘those other people’ first”

At best, we can postpone the dread,

But no one escapes what's ahead:

Too little to eat,

Radiation and heat,

Until finally everyone’s dead.

Distraction

KC says: "...Mindless activity while we rush ever onward to the edge."

Seeking complete satisfaction

Is normal human reaction;

But since we’re so fucked,

Instead we construct

Lifestyles lost in distraction.

On Today’s Supreme Court Decision and Most Everything Else

We’re going to go over the cliff,

It’s a question of when and not if;

Little bends in the trends

Don’t change how it ends,

So I ask myself: what’s the diff?

Hospice

Global Climate Change Will Increase Anxiety, Fear and Depression

As people become doom aware,

Psychological help for despair

Should try to provide

A quick self-care guide

For hospice type terminal care.

Kubler-Ross’s “Five Stages of Grief”

Provides framework that’s simple and brief;

As far as I see,

Acceptance will be

As good as it gets for relief. 

Bargaining—A Necessary Stage

Bargaining with Statistics

By tweaking degrees and percent,

Facts no longer mean what they meant;

Gigathis, gigathat:

We'll never go splat,

And gone is my discontent.

Bargaining by Gut

I’m no dumbass, I’m just not book smart,

And to me, extinction’s like art:

I know what I like,

So don’t mess with my psych;

Global warming? Don’t even start.

Peak Oil vs. Global Warming

Peak Oil seems like hitting the wall,

But it’s only a part of our fall:

Peak oil’s the cessation

Of civilization;

Global warming’s the end of it all. 

Kubler-Ross: An Ongoing Process

We’re Done

Every time I run across

Some more news about doomer loss,

I don’t feel lots worse,

I just reimmerse

Myself in my Kubler-Ross.
