Can It Be

most people are
so conditioned
by their struggle
to survive in this
ego-centric culture
of wealthy distinction
they cannot change
their ecocidal habits
not even at the edge of
global extinction?
Without safe recycling
and gentle family planning
will it be eternal eviction
even as they pledge to
re-inhabit a miraculously
resurrected planet?
