maybe it’s time
maybe it’s time, people
time to give up on “civilization” and “progress” and “building a better world”
every generation is snowflakes to the one before
every generation of humans is safer and more comfortable than the one before
and the other creatures of the earth disappear, one million after another
a few are kept safe in zoos
the same zoos humans keep themselves in
but where does it all end?
the humans with their “progress” are digging a pit they will never get out of
must they drag the other inhabitants of the planet down with them?
maybe it’s time
to let the cities crumble
let the highways be overgrown
and the airports be abandoned
and the nuclear power plants be shut down
and the smart phones thrown away
and the grid be shut down
before it is too late
and walk into the sunset
back to the woods
with little red riding hood
and the wolves
and grandma
and cross the rivers and the deserts and the mountains
back to the garden of eden
and the olduvai gorge
and gather at the river
for a nice meal of grubs and roots
and watch the moon come up over the ocean
with our cousins the lemurs and the sharks
