Extinction-level Event

To get an idea what is meant

By these words which could cause discontent,

Why don’t we cavort

Through the real import

Of extinction-level event?

A dead end in Darwin’s Descent

Which humans (and others) lament,

We’ll lose all we’ve won,

It’s gone, finished, done,

In extinction-level event.

Think extinct—one hundred percent,

Defunct, wrecked, kaput, shot, and spent;

We’re too maladjusted,

We’re broken, screwed, busted

From extinction-level event.

It’s my view, you’re free to dissent,

But I think that we can’t circumvent

Never more to awake,

It’s now baked in the cake,

This extinction-level event.

So accept what we cannot prevent:

It’s over, sunk, fixed in cement;

Let’s get through our head

It means we’re all dead,

Our extinction-level event.
