yes, things are that bad

are things
really that bad? haven't
we always
had some plague of some
sort
wiping out
the weakest of us?
the mushroom cloud
hanging
over our heads with
some tyrants finger
on the button.
hasn't the earth always
been 
nearly destroyed by a passing
asteroid,
by volcanoes, by floods,
by fire
and ice?
come over here and sit
next to me
and
try not to think about
it too much.
the sun is out, we have coffee.
birds are chirping.
it's nice.
