    Neat poem but also just plain wrong.

    The poor and the mistreated people will suffer the most so the wealthy and the privileged don’t have to.

    Just like how the children who collect your ingredients for chocolate have never even tasted it, the modern and developed world will carry on with apathy and ignorance.

    Even so called catastrophes will not affect them, as they will be uplifted and protected.

    It’s already happening now if you just look around.

      How can you be uplifted and protected from starvation when ecosystems completely collapse? There will be no cattle farming, no agriculture. If climate change is as disastrous as scientists warn if we don’t change there will be nothing to uphold them with. The masses will quickly consume their masters and then each other as we return to tribes. The most the rich can hope to do from their bunkers is scavenge for substance as the last is swallowed by the flies. They just don’t realize they’re building their own tombs.
