Extinction

Extinction For Contest Extinction is a word that no one really wants to hear What celebrities wear, is what captures the publics ear. Truth is often ignored, viewed as dirt, so it's swept under the rug Facts about the earth's destruction are met with apathetic shrugs. No one wants to hear about things like "Gorillas in the Mist" When it's time for change there is always profits in the midst. Profiteers and racketeers now control all of earth's treasures Child and slave labour contributing to the greedy's pleasures. Planet's dying, bleeding fossil fuels beyond all human measure They pay no heed, live only for today, basking in their leisure. Soon, very soon, the blameless will be saved by a marked distinction The polluters and destroyers will be the next species facing extinction. John Derek Hamilton January 4,2016
