Cataclysmic screams
Ignored by all
Enlightened scientists fold
Attenborough is bold
Burn genera past
A hampering carbon mist
A rush on Wellies
Biodiversity up for sale
Plastic mountain infests
Human to an excess
The Thunberg effect brokered
Bubble blowing rules
Forestation sullied by the suds
Draining carnivorous human glut
Population booms
Hurting viral waves
Now start the change
Let the amphitheatre feel your pain
Power with planetary forces
Let nature have a breathing space
Sustainable
and
seasonally homegrown
Take the baton
To shape the race

In the final analysis
We are but colonies of bacteria
Swimming about in our own primordial soup.
Who knows what pacts and treaties
Have been made within our very bodies?
Aeons and aeons of evolution
Have led to this:
The human being.
So much mindless life,
Following instinct,
Building and building
To produce intelligence.
Natural Selection,
Seen by Darwin,
Such a beautiful thing –
Presented by Attenborough on a silver screen –
God’s Formula:
The mark of Genius.
