This post may have been made three years ago, but I can relate. It is the sad truth of the matter.

[@keriarrage1071]

I think you have perfectly captured the tone of the poem. So beautiful!

[@doreenregan3070]

I so agree...will show this to my students when we read the poem. Really makes you reflect.....And Tone is a challenge for my students so this is perfect.

Ray Bradbury is the greatest 😥

[@BlueThunderboltsiren]

Every time I hear this poem on KZbin or at school if always get this tingling feeling like that this is a real thing.

[@wrestlerdude320]

Same!

[@BlueThunderboltsiren]

@@wrestlerdude320 Now we are here in 2023, looking at how the world is turning out right now. World war 3, the new AI, the technology we have, high risk of Nuclear Denonations. The fact we are 3 years now until 2026, which the poem takes place in, and seeing the way the world is now it just seems to be getting more real everyday now.

[@MaiHarinder]

Utter perfection. Thank you.

A fantastic video. I watch it over and over again and never grow tired of it. Thank you so much, Ivan!

[@ace-xd4sj]

I am glad I stumbled on this video. I am teaching my 9th graders Bradbury, and this is such a perfect extension of the allusion used. It further provides a beautiful example of perspective and how intent and understanding is both enfolded and unfolded from that unique space where it is artistically and subjectively synthesized, re envisioned and then returned as fodder for contemporary conversations. I appreciate your technique....and your artistic editing reminds me of Nina Paley....who stridently argues against the idea of patent or dictatorial control of anything we produce because, one of the amazing qualities of human nature is that we are constantly able to recreate meaning from "existing" art. I appreciate how you are able to extend your own subtext within the structure of her words. While Bradbury may have first created the connective tissue between Teasdale's requiem to the first World War and the radioactive Armageddon that humanity seemed so eager to march toward after WWII. You have created a unique and visual bridge that eloquently expresses the connectivity that we can still, unfortunately, recognize and still, unfortunately, fear as plausible.

Poem perfectly fits fallout world ..dark as it is,leads me to believe world would be better place without us,

[@vladislavkozlov4978]

A poetic challenge to man's solipsism or the purported self importance of mankind. The culmination of mankind's petty wars and struggles amount to no difference of the big picture of the universe, -which wouldn't even bother to notice.

[@yeater7141]

To bad im a simpleton all this sounds depressing knowing thqg anything I do in my life will all be forgotten when civilization falls it goes for all of us and at the sight of this thought well i got to say it makes me kind of sick in my stomach

I think ray Bradbury has predicted the future

[@hanarotman3203]

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound; And frogs in the pool singing at night, And wild plum trees in tremulous white; Robins will wear their feathery fire, Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire; And not one will know of the war, not one Will care at last when it is done. Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree, If mankind perished utterly; And Spring herself when she woke at dawn Would scarcely know that we were gone.

[@sudhanshukumarsuman8250]

[@johns3214]

FANTASTIC

[@BlueThunderboltsiren]

I remember when I read the poem when I was in 10th grade and watched this as an assignment, and when I first read it I had a weird gut feeling that something like this is real and it may happen. I'm a Christian, and I know there is a rapture going to happen where a lot of us won't be on this earth. Looking at the world from then to now, the way we are heading and the fact that we have this AI stuff and WW3 on the horizon, and being 3 years until 2026, I can see things unfolding before my eyes. The poems seems to be getting more real everyday. I don't know about y'all but Imma keep my eyes on everything.

[@fletchmoney2931]

WW3 Brought me back to here.

[@BlueThunderboltsiren]

Same, I started watching this after my teacher showed us this because I had a feeling something like this would happen I'm the future. 9 months later I hear about world war 3 becomes a thing and now I'm worried

[@natheria4933]

If you think a war will be enough to kill mankind you are mistaken. Man may be evil to the core. Ignorant as well, but he is a very resilient species. Resourceful, and capable of adapting to even the most hostile environments around.

[@doreenregan3070]

And that could be a topic to debate for the students after reading the poem and Ray Bradbury's short story.

Is 2:43 to 2:53 the same place, clearly the 2nd 2 are but is the first one? I'll guess from having watched all the Life after People and the Aftermouth: Population Zero that the first one is after 30 years, the 2nd one is after 400 years and the final one is after 2000 years.

[@Zz0tt]

A better place, no doubt

Given on the nature of sentience and evolution someone will replace us possibly within a few hundred thousand years possibly even less than that given all the intelligent levels of dolphins all it takes is one stray mutation and giving them the ability to utilize tools or for that matter increase the level of intelligence to most existing animals that can use tools even our own pets can serve as a replacement as much love as we pour into our pets they are incredibly intelligent and through careful selection without damaging the gene pool of most dogs they could reach to a point where they level up and begin developing into produce sentient life-forms

End times end of the world jesus comes back rapture finally it will come

[@BlueThunderboltsiren]

Yes. I remember when I read the poem in 10th grade as an Assignment, and I had a gut feeling that this was a real thing that is going to happen soon. Especially knowing there will be a rapture, and seeing things unravel so quickly, I have no doubt that this may be the Century that the rapture may happen. Look how much is unfolding in the world with your eyes. Wars, the AI, Andrew Tate being an Antichrist. This is all going to lead to the end and the Rapture. I believe it is right now that people need to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
