7 minutes is hardly long enough,

To decide the fate of civilization,

All top political and military leaders agree,

Yet we inch closer to that fateful decision,

Everyday…

Despite the smoke,

People in Pompeii didn’t believe it would erupt.

It never had! Why would it now?

We have had much more warning than they did!
