Modest Proposal
I say we start killing each other
in the streets of Boston and LA
until we kill off enough of us
to stop the Holocene Extinction
where it is. It could be fun,
with the guns, explosives, Molotov
Cocktails and all, and beneficial
to the mammals, fishes, and mollusks
who never once depended upon coal
and fracked-out natural gas for survival.

Don't forget cannibalism.*
But where does the Zombie apocalypse fit it?*
Yep, table for the Donner Party is ready but we don't need no stinkin' zombies...

I agree. *
Holocene Extinction puts a tint of dignity on what we're doing. Shame on you! *
Yes.
*
Aren't we already doing this? Should we pick it up a little?
Always happy to do my part.

Thank you, Amanda, Gary, Rachna, Sam, John, Matt, Alex, Bill, and James.
@, Gary. Or we could just let Paul Ehrlich's doomsday future slowly take care of business.
But, I like your idea expressed in some more of your fine verse best. ***
Tank you, David.
Stop it. I'm already expecting the worst. ***
Thank you, Brenda.
I love it, tight and to the point. Reminds me very much of Bukowski.
Thank you, Magda.
