NEXT!

I grant you, it's dark and heavy and depressing.  I considered sparing you, the readers, but ultimately decided, 'No.  They can handle it.'  

Have a good day!

NEXT!

.

The demise of Man, I fear,

Is not far, but rather, near.

.

It’s impossible to know

From whence will come the final blow.

.

But I myself am fairly sure

That Man himself will be the doer.

.

It’s in our bones.  It’s in our nature.

It’s war and greed and legislature.

.

Long I’d hoped we’d find a way,

To rise above our DNA.

.

To change the way we act and think,

And halt our progress to the brink.

.

I now believe - and it’s quite a shock:

That our extinction seems a lock.

.

We’ve run the course, done the dance.

Next species: “Time to take your chance.”

.

Still, I mourn what might have been,

And wish that we could try again.
