Speculation
Environmental ramifications
Will far exceed current tabulations
And surely cause widespread consternation
For resentful future populations
No hopes will be pinned on legislation
Look to intergalactic migration
Flight from a world beyond reparation
As the last chance for mankind’s salvation
We can but pray new colonization
Will not be hindered by trepidation
Species continuing procreation
Might see our flaws through magnification
Offering their youth the explanation
That we were the Earth’s worst generation
