The path to extinction

A little diversity will ensure our survival, Too much will reduce the chance of our survival, As we start seeing everyone else as a rival, And give the devil an early indication for the time of his arrival, None at all will push the date forward for the next species' arrival.

Thanks Kim. You are right. We do look silly sometimes. I guess it is getting the balance right between celebrating diversity and recognizing anti-social behavior as not ok. Poetry is a great medium for getting people to think about subjects in ways that are helpful or funny but always in a good way that celebrates community and sharing for the good of the species haha.
