Calamity Lessons

What are the insights

Learned from this calamity?

The old wretched man asked in the

Soft afternoon light

I watched his wrinkled face

And gave him a nervous smile

“There is nothing to be learned”, he said

“We will always repeat ourselves

Like a perpetual cascading failure machine

This is the purpose of our life on this earth

Repeating others mistake and multiply them

Until the world ends and it is time for the

Universal breakfast to take place“
