Kurt Vonnegut Passed Away Today At The Age Of 84

Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut, who is one my long time idols has passed away today. It makes me incredibly sad but so it goes. What does this have to do with Global Warming and our planet? Here's the last piece of writing Kurt Vonnegut had published at the end of his book A Man Without A Country.

Requiem

The crucified planet Earth,
should it find a voice
and a sense of irony,
might now well say
of our abuse of it,
"Forgive them, Father,
They know not what they do."

The irony would be
that we know what
we are doing.

When the last living thing
has died on account of us,
how poetical it would be
if Earth could say,
in a voice floating up
perhaps
from the floor
of the Grand Canyon,
"It is done."
People did not like it here.

- Kurt Vonnegut (1922 - 2007)
