Fragmentation
The cracks humans have carved
through our secluded homes
separate us from the rest of our kind
They've created an island
just for us
But we didn't ask for this
now we're surrounded by dust
With such little space
and so little time
only a fraction of us remain
how do you expect us to survive?
Before It's Too Late
Examine the planet you live on
X-ray the ground beneath your feet
Travel to places unknown,
In burly forests and in the deep
Notice anything strange?
Count the things around you: One, Two—
There are too many to number one by one, but
Invest your time to find these creatures, the
Organisms of the world, before you
Never notice their existence at all
