man called malice tanka

millennium eye
something lethal this way comes
a man called malice

breaking everything in sight
now those rosy days are few

What I’m Reading:

Just about every government is taking at least halting steps to do something about the likely impending catastrophe. The U.S. is leading the way-backward. The Republican-dominated U.S. House of Representatives is now dismantling environmental measures introduced by Richard Nixon, in many respects the last liberal president . . . The hypothetical extraterrestrial observers can be pardoned if they conclude that we seem to be infected by some kind of lethal insanity.
