There’s room enough
There’s room enough
On this Ark,
As long as the landlord
Does not clog up the place
With progeny.
There’s room enough
For all of life,
Unless the tenant
Fills the rooms
With loot.
There’s room enough
For all to breathe
And blossom,
Unless the director
Feels there’s
Profit to be made.

There’s room enough
There should be room enough for every type of life to live. There should be more than enough space for all of life’s profusion.
The planet is not huge but it is large enough. It used to be sufficient.
It no longer fits the bill.
It is a rock flying through space. It is alone and self-contained. It has sun, water and atmosphere. There is warmth and light enough for life.
This is our Ark.
We are all on the same boat. There is enough to go around.
Except that one species wants it all.
