Best Extinction Poems

Since humanity first became a sentient species, aware of time, space and its own mortality, there has been only one question that matters:are we just clever animals destined for nothingness, or does a part of us exist apart from our bodies, a consciousness or self...

He wakes as sun surrenders to nightfall;
emitting a haunting howl, he rises to prowl.
Bright amber eyes fixate on sources of nourishment. 

Leaving his protected den in Yellowstone,
gray predator becomes the prey.
Just feet beyond the National Park
farmers shoot to protect livestock.

Defenders of Wildlife beg of Congress
“Stop...

We were more popular
When you felt lazy,
More important when
We cooked you potatoes and gravy...

To please our boys and men
We would go to any length,
Even begged for mercy
Were pillars of strength...

We are the glue to glass houses
Being abused by the hour by the day,
Even ignored or...

Will the human race actually feel triumphant 
with the extinction of our African elephant,

why don’t humans believe it’s preposterous 
that Earth only homes two hundred Rhinoceros,

I being a human feel that I’m a total rotter
contributing to the demise of our giant otter,

do humans think land...

THE SIXTH MASS EXTINCTION (Manmade this time)

The sixth extinction is at hand
It's grasp extends to sea and land
Earth shone blue in darkness of space
Extending its welcome to a human race
Earth long was seen as a life giving planet
Many animals too made their homes on it
Humans...

Poachers shrug off
their critics,
who say that they are aiding
elephants' extinction - the
people who are thirsty
for money from tusks claim
that poaching
doesn't destroy the world,
it only destroys poverty
and feeds their hungry families.
They press the triggers,
without foreseeing a wild with no elephants;
a nation with no tourism;
an orphaned elephant...

The Extinction of the Sea Turtles

By Elton Camp

Human villainy is a cause for alarm
It causes much environmental harm

If the sea turtle should become extinct
To deliberate human acts it is linked

Sea turtles take decades to sexually mature
Then their offspring are far from secure

Males and females mate...

The day the asteroid arrived the dinosaurs were playing,
With toys and bats and balls and things, some dancing jigs and swaying.
Young Betty Brontosaurus was renowned for being dim,
She was running on a treadmill in her Speedos at the gym.
“Oh dear!” she cried. “Look out the...

I don’t wish to be doom and gloom

But I can’t help but think soon

This whole earth is about to erupt

In response to our destructive ways

And we can talk about heading off to space

But there is no planet B you see

There is no point in spreading...

A once vibrant Cosmic marvel turned to dust, 
the result of hate, and of ignorance and of lust!

An illusion we have of being the crown of creation,
an illusion that has caused none but devastation!

As our giver of life stands right before our eyes,
we choose to...

WE ARE POLLUTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the beginning, its said we were just dust,
Conjecture or, simply words I don't trust.
Even the big bang theory is not a positive must.
For the truth in all manner of things, I do lust.
I know it's out there, we've just scratched the crust.
I...

stagnation a trait
which many soon come to hate
for what it negates
refusing to look, see, hear
beyond beliefs most hold dear

hardening one's mind
to those seeming unrefined
yields socially blind
unaware people are blend
of diverse thoughts, forms and trends

becoming like rock
which requires an extreme shock
to look past own flock
know evolution's...

Blasting cities with
Innocent crowds...
	"I can't breathe.."
	Screamed, the humanity..
Shattered shrine on
a day, so divine...
	"I can't breathe.."
	Yelled, the humanity..
Tearful lass before the
drooling hounds..
	"I can't breathe.."
	Cried, the humanity..
Silenced giant under
racist beasts...
	"I can't breathe.."
	Murmured, the humanity..
On the verge of extinction
yearning for life...
	"I can't breathe.."
	Gasped, the humanity.....
