A Dino Sore Subject

I don’t know when or how

But humanity will go;

Extinction is inevitable

But what I want to know

Is if those who come after us

Will maintain our legacy

By making chicken nuggies

That are shaped like you and me.

I used to be a Dodo bird

But then I went extinct.

I came back as a Quagga

And then a Cape Verde Great Skink.

I’ve been a Passenger Pigeon

And even a Lesser Bilby.

I’ve yet to be a 5’11 male human

But soon, I fear, I will be…

I wish upon a shooting star

Brightly passing in the night.

The light, sustained, grows ever closer

So I wish with all my might.

And as the light turns fiery red

The star keeps coming closer still.

I hope my wish comes true yet I

Begin to doubt it ever will.
