Too Much
How far is too far, and when is it too much?
Have you finished it, or more to touch?
Do we ever know when it's time to stop?
Or do we just continue till we drop?
Do we really need all of that extra stuff?
Do we ever say, “Enough is enough?”
What got us into this terrible rut?
Where we can't stop acting like a nut?
We are wired to overdo, don't we know?
Overcoming that trait, isn't just for show.
It's the only way to go.
The Human Conquering of Earth Ron AI
We have, for now, only our small, blue dot for our
survival. But each and every one of us is wired to
grow, both, bigger, and in number. Our growth, our
need for more, takes away from the natural environ-
ment around us, making us more and more dependent
upon an artificial structure of survival that iso-
lates us from the reality of what we are doing. It's
up to each one of us to know what our limits are and
put on the brakes before we reach a point where there's
no turning back. It starts with individual acts like
suicide, anger and violence against others, poor physical
and mental health, and ends with individual terrorist
acts, group terrorist acts, war, genocide, and poison-
ing the Earth beyond recovery.
