8000
Dire prognostications
(terrestrial inhabitants blithely heeded)
with contemporary age
fortune tellers foretell day of (w)reckoning,
sans total mortal kombat annihilation
when human (and many) other innocent species
(stalwart roach adept to survive)
pitch headlong toward critical limit stage.
That eleventh hour fast upon mankind,
(as Earthlings speed headlong)
on a bee line irrevocable debacle
portending apocalyptic gloom
sprung, where weapons of mass destruction,
this from fusion and/or fusion of atom
(way smaller than an ant)
would severely impact global proliferation,
the vectors clearly delineated
sans urban jungle population boom
Plus billions of people occupy ground zero
viz the only planet in solar system
how zing cheek to jowl Homo Sapien life,
but Western Civilization may become
a footnote in cosmic history
(a justified exemption,
and rational acceptable excuse
forgoing doing homework),
unless immediate measures taken
to (yet rather ideally)
reverse nuclear destruction.
A multitude of flora and fauna would
no longer constitute biological niches
established via survival of the fittest
each animal and plant (re: species and genus),
a catastrophe unto themselves
reducing genetic pool to zero, and subsequently
availing breeding ground for well sea sunned
micro-organisms (perchance even a select
few critters immune to radio active oblate spheroid
dominating, flourishing,
occupying, et cetera #terra-firmae.
If screaming, slamming, strafing atomic, hydrogen,
neutron, bombs do not spell immediate demise
of the supposed brightest Primate put forerunners
handed figurative baton from Neanderthal
to modern man heating up human race,
the endangered qua extinct list,
the greenhouse effect from spewing
pollutants sky high,
with punctured Ozone layer as serious fallout
the latter revving into overdrive
squeezing Mother Earth Sunkist love
visiting via burgeoning population explosion
each respective year, those once dubbed
marginal lands will be exploited. Inclusive
fragile eco-systems (atolls coral expelled,
rain forests slashed and burned, wetlands
drained for another crowded house).
Once passed the tipping point
(possibly already surpassed)
a flagrant, ignorant, poisonous re-agent
will decree death-sentence, define desolation
deprive materialistic existence
no amenable longer fashionable, sustainable.
