More of a threat than climate change
the loss of biodiversity on the planet is, on the other side of
nuclear annihilation, the biggest threat we face as living
beings who appreciate breathing and eating and having
any fun.
This was just recently sort of universally announced, however, it's always
been an important issue to some since the beginnings of the industrial age.
E. O. Wilson had a mind as a young child to study insects.
It was for him such a fascinating realm of diversity he
dedicated his life to understanding how some of these insect
species tended to operate
The origin of species, a field book by Charles Dawin,
a plain plan to study diversity from different geological areas of the Earth,
for
comparison, suddenly, somehow shaped how humans
might look at other living things in a different way ---
some people took that the wrong way I suppose
Until now it becomes more than evident
all around us,
we can experience firsthand
how the environment in our world
has changed
And I heard this analogy just recently,
It's like the game Ginga
Where you can pull out pieces from the Ginga
and the tower still stands,
But you don't know how many,
or which ones are most vital
before the tower falls
We've taken over too much geography and
misused the soils to grow our food,and filled the rest in with cement.
We've wasted the finite resources, the air and water,
and the animal that we eat,
without understanding what they mean to our own survival
as a species.
Who would of thought, ----
That such a thing could happen to the freest
animal of them all

in the matrix
at least in some
sort of matrix
to be attuned to think
this is a matrix
And just how would this
fit
For an answer I go out to the field
and ask the sheep
Like I am a dog
who herds the sheep
"well sheep", I ask
"how do you feel about all this"
not expecting them to say much
other than "Baaaaaaaaaaaaa"
But I've learned to love that sound
There's just something about animal sounds
