Descendants


Stars into dust into
planets into plants into
people like trees walking.

It's taken the universe
billions of years
to bring us into being.

Shouldn't we be
taking better care of it
while we're here?

End of the Line

Time-lapse maps trace our
Oldest primate skeleton
By carbon footprints.

Tribes squabble over
God with Kalashnikovs; drones
Waste whoever speaks.

There are no borders,
Only corporations to
Plunder resources.

Here’s a hologram,
A chip of our DNA --
Such wishful thinking.

Death is all chatter.
Celebrity stars
Burn for adoring fans.
