Optimism from Pessimism

What are our aspirations for the earth,
though we talk about it and do nil?
rays of hope shining, we foresee dearth,
our input is won't instead of will.

Could the news bring nothing but calamity?
production on the rise rather than decline?
instead of increased problems, remedy?
reality reflected when we answer" fine."

Solar panels found using more energy,
than they are now projected to produce,
efforts at peace result in enmity,
unfortunates we would help, misuse.

Conflict desiring to result in peace,
bring more division than resolve;
would practice of using others decrease
and just regard of cooperation evolve?
