Poem Title:
Poem
Our supposed modern scientific genius May in fact just be our last fatal weakness. This technological house of cards we've made Left humanity walking along the edge of a razor blade. How much could you buy or sell using debit or credit If someone or something wiped out the internet. A computer virus, terrorists, hackers, or an E.M.P.-- Will wipe out our hard-earned wealth eventually. Killing beneficial insects is almost like fratricide. Think really hard again about ever using insecticide. How many fields of vegetable plants and fruit trees Will ever bear fruit if there are no more bees. Rather than organically producing more living topsoil, We're killing what remains with chemicals derived from oil. As chemical contaminants follows their downward motions, Choral reefs and plankton are dying in the oceans. As a species, we've all become germ-o-phobic neurotics, Religiously trying to kill all microbes with antibiotics. But pharmaceutical medicine will never defeat every bug, So one of these days there's certain to be a super plague. So will we all starve because we cannot buy or sell, Or because the oceans and farmlands have all gone to Hell? Will we be extinguished by some invincible virus? What ever it be, the fault will probably lie in us! I wish I could offer some brilliant inspired solution, But remember that extinction is also a part of evolution. You may write me off as some kind of nutty alarmist, But people that know me consider me to be an optimist.
