PANGAEA.

Once upon a time the Earth was One.
A single continent called Pangaea
floated on its giant plate
on the single ocean.

Long before the advent of humans
cracks had cleaved itJ and
made many out of one,
ex uno plures.

Gondwana – the old world
stayed long together,
but it too succumbed
to fragmentation.

What nature has done,
can humans undo?
In a spiritual unity of cleft continents,
restore Pangaea?

Later addition.

Unfortunately, Pangaea was the time of
the Permian extinction.
Is there a warning in this?
After the Cambrian comes the Permian.

(Refers to the Cambrian explosion of animal life.)
