Nature’s Dead... No Mystery Left

Then the Punter, didn’t catch 'is name, 
said - Nature’s dead...!
No mystery left there anymore, 
it’s all passé. 

If that’s the case we’re now deceased 
for sure, all gone away what’s more 
with toxins shrinking 
off our heads.

A blasé sort of declaration, 
apropos of little else it seemed - 
sort of tossed into the ring, without 
much thought before, or afterwards.

Most people just ignored it.

I tried and failed, woke up bewailing 
Nature’s sad demise; I kind 
of liked the passing season's change, 
enjoyed the ride.

But I’d a better guide whose 
view was used to termination 
out of time - because it says 
we’re well along  the way ...
