Humans Are Enough Poem by Lay Rite

There lived millenniums before, humans
Who never had to worry about some obscure chemistry
Nor did they get curious about their earth
And there was never nothing like economy
Let alone its meltdown

There were once lived people
Who all they ever cared about was some farming
Rainy season, hartmattan and the likes
And perhaps little hunting for meats
And they were happy and contented.

I repeat, there were once lived some good people
Who we now call uncivilised and other obscene names
But everything they needed, they got
Quite unlike us who continue to crave
Then there was contentment and so tranquillity

Then there came a world of big words
Small world they say it is, a global village
But big world we use in it, all for wrong things
Nuclearbomb, globalwarming, economymeltdown,

Human beings create all their problems
The world was created perfect
But humans have made it imperfect
In their quest for illusive perfection
Continuously humans are destroying the world.

If the world is ever going to end, and so it is
God would have no work to do
Nor would satan need take part in it
The humans are enough to end the world
And surely men are going to destroy this world.
