      Robert C. Koehler: Real Change On A Living Planet

      Jan 7, 2021

      As the new year asserts itself — a year that begins in global lockdown and political shock-and-awe — an extraordinary question emerges: Are we on the brink of real change? Are we moving, politically speaking, beyond the small and stupid? Is the era o

      Congratulations, Mark Broatch, on “Senses of Wonder” (April 8). It showed so well the wondrous world we live in ‒ its beauty and mysteries. Professor Ashley Ward’s tantalising remark that “none of these things, in the strictest sense, exists” leaves

      I Was A Teenage Marxist

      Planet Pandemica

      Once upon a time,

      we all lived on Planet Earth.

      Now we live on Planet Pandemica.

      Seemingly overnight,

      Earth was transformed, reformatted

      by a brand-new virus

      called Covid-19.

      It came from China.

      (Yes, it did. We all know it did.

      Don’t try to argue about that.)

      Did it come from Wuhan’s wet market

      or the Wuhan Institute of Virology?

      We’ll probably never know,

      because those who do know

      will never tell us.

      This vicious little virus,

      this tiny fragment of bio-programming,

      has replicated itself across the entire world,

      using human beings
