Homo unsapiens unsapiens
Doubly unwise, our supposedly superior human species
callously mistreats our beleaguered Earthly planet,
cavierlearly disrespecting our endangered environment
and desecrating our precious natural home.
Why are so many people so eco-unconscientous?
Lording it over all the other diverse species--
millions of animals and thousands of plants,
each of which are intelligent in their own unique way
we humans are collectively guilty of "human supremacy"
Why are most people so anthropocentric?
Of our three evolutionary brains
reptilian, mammalian and human
our devolving species still reacts like reptiles or "lower" mammals
unthinkingly activated by primitive instinct alone.
Why are so many people so uncritical and uncaring?
Driven by excessive greed and selfishness,
and a compulsion to commodify and consume all living organisms--
each of which are sentient beings to differing degrees.
we humans collectively deplete or destroy our natural resources.
Why are most people so materialistic?
Tainted by superstition or extremist religious beliefs
rather than applying objectivity and logical reasoning
and insightful intelligence--secular or intuitive wisdom
a number of our species are exceptionally ignorant and arrogant.
Why are so many people so lacking in vision and humility?
Still evolving as a species for as long as we're on this earth
lets try to stimulate our grey cells to some semblance of wisdom--
instead of short-sighted, mindless "mush for brains",
before we all mutate into robotic androids and cyborgs
programmed by computer generated artificial intelligence!
