Crash

How small I must seem
to someone up there
who chances to look at the ground
while I fight the gleam
to triumphantly stare
at a race resolutely profound—
but what good are planes
or cars and the such
how well will they get us around
when Man at last drains
what we covet so much
not one precious drop to be found.

We already have the ability to use other forms of fuel. I think the only reason we don't, is because the government would have a hard time really taxing anything. Oh, and hydrogen blows up.

Excellent write.

I can remember the 70's when everyone got 5 gallons, that was it! It will happen again unfortunately..
