Death Of Mankind? ……[extinction Poem For November Showcase; How Shall Mankind End, If It Does? ? ; Musings]
Will Humans die off quickly, or slowly peter out***?
I think the latter; I’ve, of that, little doubt.
I don’t mean individual humans; I mean Mankind.
They’ll peter out till …..not one human soul you’ll find.
Sure, widespread nuclear war could do it more quickly I suppose,
OR “global warming”. [Do you want your body cooked or ‘froze’? ]
A brand new pandemic spread by birds or bugs?
And THEN there'd be no more Moms or Dads giving hugs!
My theory is: “Men (with machines) will merge, …..
[with a few human technicians cloned] until, on the verge of …..
EXTINCTION, machines will then decide Men aren’t the ‘right stuff’,
….which may leave God AND the Devil, BOTH, in a huff*****.”
***** “in a huff
Fig. in an angry or offended manner. (*Typically: be ~; get [into] ~.) He heard what we had to say, then left in a huff. She came in a huff and ordered us to bring her something to eat. “

my musings for the topic i offered for poems in the November showcase on my site. [optional topic]
What poets thought yesterday is now before our sight. What Bri thinks today may be before the sights of our descendants.
it will all happen in due time life today is hardly worth a dime thanks Bri
Alas! I think you may be right. And it will be a horrible sight. When humans are all departed I'll be like life never started. Maybe if people had a brain We wouldn't have to begin again.

You have seriously pondered over the topic. Life might end with a 'Bang' as it is believed to have begun in a nuclear war or sudden collision of the stellar bodies or it can end with a 'whimper' through global warming or gradual climatic change! What ever it is, life has to come to an end, may be to have a fresh start..... then Bri may be a different person..... quite serious and sedate with no more interest in ice creams or 'wives', talking philosophy.....and never cracking any jokes! (Just imagine!) A brand new pandemic spread by birds or bugs? And THEN there'd be no more Moms or Dads giving hugs! ..............Love these lines! Altogether a 'decent' poem deserving high marks!
