Extinction

 

Extinction

 

No bright meteor, no cataclysm,

Just some pink clothing,

And a rainbow or two,

And the dinosaurs know they are through.

 

Clinging like lizards

To outmoded systems

Failing between their hands,

Bleating how everything is all right

As they scurry across the burning lands.

 

See how the dinosaurs rage.

See them being upstaged.

See them ineffectually outraged.

See the dinosaurs as they fall into old age.

 

Now see them buy the items

Just to burn them,

See them lie to themselves

And each other about their virtue,

See them frenzy without a clue.

 

Now watch them as they seek to rend.

See them as they their violence defend.

See them as they fail to comprehend.

See them fearful of their approaching end.

See how the dinosaurs rage.

See them being upstaged.

See them ineffectually outraged.

See the dinosaurs as they fall into old age.
