No person wants to live in a condemned building, with it's decrepit roof and ceiling
raining asbestos and lead upon your head, no one wants it but you can always go outside.
No person wants to live in a condemned building and drink from it's rusty faucets filled
with mercury and lead, lithium and rust, water so brown with bacteria and dirt that no
person should have to drink it but you can always drink from a bottle.
No person wants to live in a condemned building with it's putrid air so filthy and full of
dust and bacteria that sickness is not a possibility it is guaranteed but no one says you
have to live there, unless your poor that is.
No person wants to live in a condemned building with windows unable to protect from heat
or cold, where summers can suffocate and winter's can freeze. Where your about as safe
behind those windows as a tree is from the air. Any cretin from outside could easily come
inside and do unspeakable things. Such a house is unlivable and should be condemned.
However, what if the outside world was no better?
What if air outside was rotten with disease and poison and the lakes and oceans were so
brown that dying of thirst would be advisable?
What if the ground itself was so filled with garbage and waste that you wonder why you
can't just live somewhere else?
What if the planet itself were condemned and unlivable? Where would you or I go?
This is not as much a fantasy as it is reality that the planet should be condemned and no
one living thing should live here yet we have no place to go and we have no one else to
blame but ourselves.
Can this fixer upper be repaired or will we, the human race be condemned along side of it?
Arriba, Arriba as Speedy Gonzalez would say
The San Quinton Kangaroo Rat is dying away
Baja California is where they do reside
On a little strip of land just 100 meters wide
Due to agriculture and progress it’s sad to say
All but nine-miles of their habitat was taken away
Truly nocturnal they only come out at night
Strongly territorial they’re ready to fight
Once numbering in thousands now 30 are left
How long can humanity go on being deft?
They bathe in the dust so its sad but true
In captivity they last just one day or two
When they are threatened believe what I say
Two-meters at a time they go hopping away
They mainly eat seeds, fruits, insects and such
Amazing kidneys allow them to not drink very much
They rarely drink water because these words are true
Their kidney’s are four-times as efficient as the kidney in you
The odds they will rebound are far less then slim
San Quinton Kangaroo Rats fate is looking rather grim
Even if you don’t hold rats dear to your heart
In the overall cycle of life they play their part
Every species on earth fulfills some sort of need
The San Quinton Kangaroo Rat regulates the diversity of seeds
Plants, insects, ants, and birds need them to survive
Without the San Quinton Kangaroo Rat they cannot thrive
Arriba, Arriba as Speedy Gonzalez would say
The San Quinton Kangaroo Rat is dying away
Being one who spent years in San Quinton this
endangered species caught my eye. Reminded
me of the jail house mouse that would frequent
my cell. An odd sort of connection I'll admit but
rather interesting I reckon.
