The word itself is implacable
That time advances in its chances
To endow the inevitable, the reliable,
That failures fail.
To whack that nail
Hammerwise square and solidly
On its head may demand
Lots of lives
Becoming dead.
The no go of the dodo,
The pterodactyls disappearance
Was just an act of clearance
For the hummingbird,
Not at all absurd.
These days that logic still persists.
It cannot be missed that humanity
Is eager to conform.
Evolution cannot resist advance.
Therefore it is obviously a plus
That the atmosphere must rearrange
In planetary change to toss away the
Vast stupidities that now drive with energies
Humanity’s departure from persistence.
Within a decade or two, perhaps a camel
Might remain to gaze in curiosity
At the pyramids.
Perhaps a meerkat might stand and stare
In wonder at the wreckage and blunder
Distributed here and there
Left by a humanity that has terminated
In nowhere.
