Reasoning
Lots of species were extinct
The areas they occupied
Aroused a human hunting instinct
To the extent a bit too high
Even the turtles couldn’t survive
Galapagos became the grave
Poor humans want to thrive
They want this and that, and crave
For the best they can afford
Of the worst they can accept
Reasoning is what they’ve got
Most reflective do reflect
What they are, and there’s no other
Game to play or to ignore
Once a brother killed his brother
And this opened up the score
But I’m of the different kind
Got no reasons, no excuse
Just a little wind of time
Fanning out the boring truth.
