Birds are sinister beings., They just seem to glare As if remembering a time Before we were there When Dinosaurs ruled Before the asteroid came That in a split second changed The evolutionary game. Mammals advanced as Dinosaurs quickly ceased Leaving behind only those That retreated to trees. Using their acquired ability To agilely fly And so they became Rulers of the sky. I think they remember I think they know The state of things Millions of years ago When if puny men Had raised their heads T Rex and co would soon Have torn them to shreds. Birds are sinister beings Somehow they know Man’s actions will Alter the status quo And they are aware But they don’t know just when Man will self extinct and Dinosaurs As birds, will rule the Earth again.

The extinction of humans, in my mind, is an inevitable event, considering how bad man's been treating everything, from defenseless animals to the eroding environment, even his own brothers, sisters and cousins. I just can't predict when this event will happen. I hope my forecast is wrong. I like your not too overblown, realistic warning! This is good Terry! Cheers...ab

Thanks ab. I am nearly 80yo and have seen so many changes, so many periods of hope, so much beauty and happiness created, and yet, somehow the evil comes through. I think its not a case of if, but when.
