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.
