Nowhere near

we pride ourselves
on intellect,
gross domestic product,
nuclear power,
global recognition
 
yet we fear
being overtaken
-build our defences
in trade barriers,
arms and ammunition
 
 
flushing out toxicity
and causes thereof
is the biggest challenge
we face - but are
 nowhere near a solution
