Are you dead
Not just dead sir but gone forever
I and all my kind
Songbirds Chinese dolphins humble frogs
Unseen for decades

People laugh over polychromatic cocktails
About the definition of species
We don’t know DNA they say
Celebrating their ignorance
And drive off in their Teslas
Powered by coal if the grid is

The man himself wants to colonize Mars
Artificial cities for the elect
While the rest swelter on sad earth
Colonialism worked well for him
Billionaire and his rapacious ilk
