Why should our species persist?
We are the damnation of all creation,
It would be best if we ceased to exist.
Yes, children are cute.
As are lion cubs.
But both grow up.
Aye, there's the rub.
Lions, like us, gobble up grazers and kill other predators.
Aside from that, they don't do much harm.
We kill, we pollute … we do what suits us,
smarmily saying it's part of our charm.
Could it be (locally) we are Catch-22?
Our whole purpose is to destroy?
Were we deployed to end it all?
Or is it destroying is what we enjoy?
If we disappeared
would we be missed?
That's asked and answered.
Case dismissed with prejudice.
