Few embers of hope
enslaved the fire
Spikes and spears made
the predator most feared
Wheels rolled in next
taking ambition to places
Arms armed with a whip
tamed fiercest of beasts
With bullets, bombs
and missiles precise
Intention soon reached
beyond all limits
Destiny now reduced
to a destination mere
Planet's fate hangs
precarious between ears
If only evolution
could correct itself
this tale could have
a different ending
where a harmless tail
could save the planet
from the perils
of sapient intellect
