Tombstone

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A great number of Species

have become extinct

because of the actions

of the Human.

This is becoming increasingly clear.

Will this also be the case

for the Human?

Will the Human

become extinct too?

Should that happen,

what will

the Human's Tombstone

look like?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Human

Birth Date: Depends on the Story

Death Date: All the same

~~~~

They didn't come

to know their place

in the scheme of things.

They had everything.

They ate themselves

out of house and home.

They had no where else to go.

I had hoped for much, much more.
