people are born - people are dying
what we leave - in between
is our legacy - our bequest
our lives are not that important
only what carbon footprints will tell
how long the earth will breathe
people are born - people are dying
what we bring to the sphere
is our idea that humanity is regal
that the earth is our right
to claim and to do with what we
think is fitting - a false premise
people are born - people are dying
we are only a blimp on the horizon
our steps are baby ones - and children
unruly or obstreperous - alas
are wildly destructive - hence
the earth needs not sympathize with
People being born or people dying.
