Eco Magnus Opus-by Arnold Robbins
Human beings and consciousness
Evolution reaching a narcissistic self concept
Man - Looks in the mirror and sees...
The apex predator blessed with
The manifest destiny to have
Dominion over all the Earth
Conquest and expansion mentality
Gives rise to scorched earth policies
Human populations exploding
Resource extraction progressing
Industrialization encroaching
Rainforest destruction expanding
World output of Carbon Dioxide rising
Tragedy of the commons growing
Glaciers melting
Sea levels rising
Shorelines flooding
Pollution and disease spreading
Endocrine disrupters infiltrating
Warning - species declining
Extinction events accelerating
Future wars and genocide likely
What shall it profit a man
To seek material conquest at the peril
of destroying all life on Earth?
