The Sixth Great Extinction

Birds from the sky
Fish from the sea
Deer from the land

The blood knows
The bones remember
The breath flies

Beauty dies.
People walk by
Dumb as flies.

They're only beasts
(Like us)
They're only creatures

Like us, with the right
To live and thrive.
Soon now time

Will turn back on itself
Like a curling wave
Carrying us down

To a watery grave.
How did we get here?
People will say

The lesson speeding by
Unnoticed, unrecognized
To be relived on other

Worlds, in other times.
