Prevent the sixth extiction

In my world every day everything gets larger

so extrapolative is the day today

we do not know where ability, faith and constraint

will meet

Did you know we are spiraling into the sixth extinction event

the previous five were natural events

the sixth is the one we created

and can by utilizing natural selection prevent.

Will we do it, will we do it how, do we care at all

I doubt that

man is a fantastic titanic animal

a super one but still a self reflecting brat

one appeal to the tiniest lizard brain

and the smartest monkey knows

every bit of knowledge blows

he can be King as long as the track

is there for his train to suppose

Consequences are decades if not centuries away

taking our hirsute future to task

its like asking a junkie not to shoot up today

Right now today as fast as we decline we advance

but the scale is what make the future  a tragedy

Simple vaccines to eliminate disease are low cost

but we can not find a way to make them not fail

not just in distribution but an intellectual whale

so what hope to we have against a carbon industry

that has been here for centuries

and  whose only hope of survival is to ensure

that for sure no other power source has entry

They got plans so big

the earth is only one element

of what they deserve

if the earth is dead

they will live in satellites of pleasure

with every robot that they wed.

Some men think they are gods,

but most think they had it thrust upon them

I was once a candidate for that lifestyle

but I quit because all the wool

was not in my quintile.

I am a sixth extinction babysitter

my child is wild

and every time a vote is taken

it stays the same way

Don't put a nanny state

in front of real estate

Mr Paul Krugman is a mensch

He says what he means

and thinks what it seems

despite the pushback

he keeps on

like a lizard brain cure

riding in a camels humpback

Economics is the dismal science

so many snake oil salesman

take its qualified equations

and make disastrous opinion

for great nations

Joe Six-pack don't know

because math scares him

its up with long term planning

as things he aspires to learn

like the guitar

stroking the strings

as he heard from the orchestra

is an echo of what

he intrinsically knew

tighten your belt if your hungry

find a new pasture

and live life free

Just one thing Joe

Schrödinger's Cat defines

the new economy

Workers we do not need them

they consume resources

and a scant few

contribute to pleasure

on a dying planet

what should the rational mind do?

The minds love some of their family

and some animals

but spiders are icky

they should be GMO fed.

Spaceship earth has no life boats

a international space station

that could support itself

for five minutes if

not earth fed.

I feel like a prisoner

doing the dead man walking

show on death row.

We got real problems

Our leaders are like the Capitan's

of the ship in recent memory

where hundreds of passengers died

because they confused safety

with job security.

There is no security for no one

Have you not seen a suicide bomber

blow himself up just because he

felt his religion was not number one

Well whets going to happen when

the power that be start tossing bodies

overboard off spaceship one.

Fact is and facts are stupid things

you do not have to believe

and the salient point is true

they are reality no matter what

you think is true.

With today's technology we

can save the world

we  can save everyone

and make a universal tribe

So much is wasted every day

and so many starve because we

behave that way

No one needs seven kids if two will do

to move the generation forward

knowing they will have every chance

 to do the same as you and I do.

I have kids and I hope you do

If you don't well its not so important

but you must know someone

who does have children

and is a wonderful person

and would it not be pitiful

if humanity fell

because you by reason or bad purpose

did not fill the well.
