We have many moral imperatives none more pressing
Than we disappear from the face of the earth
So says the prophet of prophets there is no claim
That we are more divine than the stones in the field
It could be in our survive and be damned attitude
We human beings have forfeited our right to walk the face of the earth
It could reasonable that extinction is not personalised
But necessary for our spirits to soar where they can do least harm
