Is humankind a planet killer?

Many deep thinkers have come
to that studied conclusion
and its hard not to disagree
if we project current trends
forward even within the lifetimes
of some of the living
its a dead planet
for humans
mammals and fish
is general

Top of mind is
Margret Atwood
with her excellent
underappreciated book
Crank and Onyx
where she saw
a Monsenta
whistle blower
create a new
earth without
humans

Now we hear
the Westworld
Crew have joined
the chours

Its hard to disagree
in the snapshot of life
in the 21st Century
but lets just think back
only a thousand years
and see how far humans
have come
now we make great mistakes
but the progression is unmistakable
we are headed for the stars
if we can just live
that long on earth
