Upon this earth- I wonder why
we've come to live and dominate
a tiny sphere so lost, unseen
within our vast Galactic sky?
A primate- we've become most keen
among the rest to complicate
support of nature- abdicate
those laws for our survival's aid.
A mini-universe we've made,
upon a speck that drifts along
replete with wastes that don't belong.
Though venturing beyond our space,
to soon invade another place,
we've built a technical showcase-
of which we've taken full command-
upon this rock, our borrowed land.
The Bible, in 'Creation's tale',
presents the reasons we may fail:
prevailing on this path without
adhering to predestined rules.
A smarter primate- with no doubt-
but ponder- are we greater fools?
