Poem

Species did die ere man,
In the round of selection,
So many and so long.
What difference now
Should they go?

In trackless time
Lent to adaptation,
A peice succeeds
To its proper slot,
Only displacing
By adjusted gene.
Extinction wrought by man
Plays at no game,
But sweeps all the peices
To the floor.

After so many millions
of years
To be
Now
Out of time
Out of tune
Out of space
Out of place
Out of luck
Out of life
Only because
You make it so.

So whats to do, old man,
If all that was, is lost
To a human field.
Even you cannot
Turn entropies tide.

If morality came
From the divine,
There would be our excuse,
It  wasn't us
Who said that we could kill.
But man is creator
Of  moral sense,
If it comes at all,
Only to live in good part
With his human kin.

The wolf and the whale
Know that they live.
They know their fellows.
Pain and ecstatic joy
Are part of their life.
We reason that 
We alone matter.
That is our fault.
Everything with eyes to see,
Ears to hear,
Many senses
Beyond our own,
Are the consciousness
That gives the universe 
Its meaning.
We always discount
What we do not understand,
We cannot see
Through a gorillas eyes.

Precepts must grow
To evolve a morality
That encompasses all life.
While we struggle
Our gilded towers to raise,
Life is destroyed by
Our over wheening mass.
If  life is to proceed
Along its evolving path,
Man must grow
To learn control,
Become protector,
All life is here
For all we know.
To be the species,
Like a meteor
Of extinction
Must appal.
We need another story.
For human blessing on life
To be, that each woman
Have only one child,
Till evolutions productive
Glory, restore the earth.
