Who

Who wants to be the last mammal on the earth 
the last un-guineade pig still capable of giving birth 
who wants to be the last bug to survive and breathe 
the ultimate being who still feels enough to grieve 

Who wants to join the solitary jail of don't do it 
be the only human who does not contain alien fluid
who is fearless enough and sure enough to know 
if the world will end , of if the world will grow 

Who braves it these days who loses their nerve  
Scientists, Mystics, which will flatten the curve 
Them with their needles, and us with our Faith 
will we explode like red jam, or open the Gate

Who gives a dam and who doesn't give a care 
do we hold our breath or do we take in air 
who will be humanoid, and who will be toyed  
was it an asteroid, that we could not avoid ? 

Who wants to be the last mammal , WHO? 
Who wants to live forever,  WHO ?

A great message to reflect upon. I feel we are the experimental humanoids of this day. We will see in time what will happen. Happy Mother's day. love phyl

Good Morning Mystic Rose - Powerful message and words to ponder on with reflection but that is a plus because we all need to question from time to time. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day.
