№ 338.2: EXTRA! Do-Over?

Guardian: Human race just 0.01% of all life but has destroyed over 80% of wild mammals – study

Groundbreaking assessment of all life on Earth reveals humanity’s surprisingly tiny part in it as well as our disproportionate impact

Like all creators, Earth's had regrets
observing what he'd created.
That the Earth was a helluva mess
was a fact which could not be debated.
Any place life was
was precisely where strife was.
Creating life, as it turned out, was self-defeatin'
because, sooner or later, everything's eaten.
This creator then, let us assume,
chose to do something to relieve his gloom.
Cut to the chase: time to erase,
time to undo what creation had come to.
Doing that,” he thought,
would be too much work
and though I'm not perfect
I'm not that big a jerk.”
So, rather than throw the world under the bus
to put an end to creation he created us.
And we are succeeding beyond expectations.
We're what you end up with when you do creations.
