“Two eminent
scientists say the human race is likely to become extinct at its own hand
within 100 years as it exhausts resources through a population explosion and
unbridled consumption.”

and The Plain Dealer, June 26, 2010
Just as the
beasts that have gone before us –
Like the dodo and
tyrannosaurus –
We homo sapiens,
some people think,
In a few decades,
we’ll all be extinct.
Two scientists
say that it now appears
In ninety-five,
maybe one hundred years
The
extra-terrestrials will commence
Referring to
humans in the past tense.
So, I’m thinking
if I get hopping
And find someone
to print this jotting,
I’ll get my
fifteen minutes from this rhyme,
Right at a
quarter till the end of time.
