|
Fell down upon the realm of man |
|
On a scorned mound |
|
We erect another monolith |
|
Buckled under its own ego |
|
Another pillar of content |
|
Another milestone of man |
|
Pity the weak |
|
We cry out in laughter |
|
As trees are felled |
|
How the mighty have fallen |
|
We mock the roots |
|
Parasitic ape; |
|
Spills his black blood |
|
Blotting out the sun |
|
Wither to sallow flesh |
|
Saplings writhe where man is idle |
|
An imperfect genocide |
|
Erected upon weakened ground |
|
Finally gave way |
|
Toppled down. Toppled down |
|
Explanation: |
|
we are a flash in the pan in relation to the longevity of life on this planet. when we murder countless lives and tear down countless trees, we feel we control everything. In our arrogance, we are simply pulling our end closer. When the last homo sapien dies, the world will not die with us. We are not a chosen race by some make believe god. We are the first, and hopefully last species to have evolved to the point where we deserve extinction. We are also a species that has the power to change this outcome. |
