But is that a good idea?
Not that we can ever distinguish
good and bad, our record makes clear.
If acting on instinct we extinct our species
what will evolve to replace us?
Whatever it is, will it speak English,
read the King James, divide into races?
(Bright shining faces, knowing their places?)
Will our replacements bring peace to the planet?
I call that unlikely since peace can not
exist where life persists.
Life requires conflict, not prissy sissies.
Some other critter could do just as well,
turning the world into a hell.
There being nothing special about us,
I posit the Earth will go on without us.——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
