Homo Sapiens (age uncertain)
Sunday slipped behind the curtain.
Born and reared in Asia Minor,
He was flawed by his designer
But arose through education
To a lord-and-master station.
Working fast and even faster
Caused the biosphere's disaster,
That and slipshod overseeing
Of the earth's Great Chain of Being.
His decline was such a slow one
His survivors number no one.
He had asked to be cremated
By the climate he created.
His was not a happy ending.
Funeral details are pending.
