Challenge

I ponder over human life
civilizations that survived
the stone, bronze and iron ages

successfully overcame the vicissitudes *
of even dark middle ages
to reach modern times
with technology at its peak!

Yet, challenges of climate change
deforestation, air pollution
violence, greed are all daunting....

Will mankind overcome
vicissitudes * of modern times?
time alone will tell...

*vicissitudes: successive, alternating or changing phases or conditions as of life or fortune, ups & downs
