Terry Ireland Poet Rhyme

Twitcher

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.

Anselmo Boles December 2, 2022 at 5:35 PM 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 Terry Ireland December 3, 2022 at 12:55 AM 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.
