The Prospect of Extinction (poem)

A mass extinction is happening right now,
and we're on the list of potential candidates.

Have we run our course?
Have we ended ourselves?
Have we ignored the warnings?
Is this how far we've come?

Will I never have a family,
or will I raise a daughter
in a world crumbling around us,
knowing she is the last of my line?

The most important questions are
will we fight,
and are we worth fighting for?
Or should we just fade away?

-Zero
