Does any species have the right to destroy this planets host of living things?

Question

Is questioning humans taboo as time runs out for we of earth?

The way we gain living must coincide yet most still disrupt.

Sustaining awareness demands coincidental existence.

There is no plausible deniability of our living done.

Mostly we do not abide even with one another.

No matter what or whom is claimed on high.

We conceive earth as one living organism.

Yet we don't get along with the host.

When evaluation comes to mediate.

There are no golden parachutes.

Humanity fails to be humane.

Civilization has no civility.

Each and all is exposed.

No others to blame.

As time runs out.

Reality sinks in.

Answer 1

Does a hungry animal care if the animal they are going to eat, is the last one?  No.

Does the virus concern itself with the demise of the victim?  No.

How do you reason that there is a "right" to dispute?

Answer 2

Yes! Because we are bigger stronger smarter and the top of the food chain. Natural selection live with it Hippie

Answer 3

Your question implies that there is someone to stop us if we don't have the right. The fact is that it's a situation in which humans are the determiners of their own fate. If we fark this up, that's it. Done. There's no "do we have the right" or not. It's "do we have the ability," and "should we keep doing what we are doing."

Answer 4

OK. go live in harmony with nature.

Walk everywhere

Don't go to the dentist or doctor. That cuts down on the toxic medical waste. Also don't get shots

Move out and live off the land. Use natural organic methods and hand labor. Oh wait, you'd still have an impact.

Cans we feed out population without using machines, fertilizers and pesticides? Sure, after the die off.

Can we end our dependence on the car. Sure. Raise the gas tax, and make people walk. Sure, the young and the old will suffer.

Can we cut back on killing and eating animals and thus reduce pollution? Sure. Just remember plants are also living creatures and we'll kill more of them.

You need to consider the needs of our civilization. It's easy to point fingers but hard to build solutions.

Answer 5

Throughout the history of the world lifeforms have appeared, thrived and then become extinct...it is part of the natural order.

whatever our own fate, we at least are the first to have a choice on if or how we go out.

The stars? conservation? thrive until we reach a natural equilibrium...famine, pestilence, meteor etc.

Answer 6

Your poem really has no bearing on reality.

In reality, we are not running out of time, at least there is no credible indication.  If you are governed by guilt, you might feel bad about human success as a species but I do not.  I am a human advocate and welcome our species success.
