Kill 'Em All!
("Morphogenesis Merit Badge", 2011, original oil)
Why not, kill ‘em all,
All those extra humans,
And even better, all their children
Before they are even born.
Kill ‘em all
For the sake of the planet,
For the sake of your vanity and youthful self.
We don’t need more humans
We are the cause of all evil after all.
Pro Earth vs pro Life
Is the issue of the day.
And yet strangely,
It is the earth which is the fertile one,
Earth which is really us
Growing, learning, expanding
In every one of us
One by one
Even as we survive and thrive
Happy as hell
To simply be alive.
