THE TRAGIC VARIABLES

Well…?
You have seven minutes
to save the world
to create the thing
that will put us on the right track
ensure we have a future
from which
we’ll look back
on this special moment
and thank you
for your foresight
your intuition
and your sheer briliance
as you looked upon the problems of the day,
considered the tragic variables
and uncovered the inconceivable,
the only way
for us to escape our fate.
We’ll be appreciative then,
but only if you provide the solution
– and in the next six minutes.
…well?
