Description
All in vain, we
scuttle through our lives of
misunderstanding and illusion,
just to make ends meet,
with hungry mouths not our own
that constantly whine in our ears
and bellies that never stop their
pitiful groans for more nourishment.

Fighting and violence
continue to contaminate pure minds,
spreading the disease
that is our own blood,
our own family of strangers
populating enormous expanses of land
across incomprehensible gaps.

Those black, gaping pits
that separate worlds and people
never fill; the pollution of hearts,
and minds, and souls just sink
deeper into the trenches of
old wars that have past, but were never finished.

The steaming stench of decay
is sickening, yet no one inhales its
noxious fumes - or cares to
for that matter.
All are blind to their flaws
yet are quick to pounce on
another's sins, as if to purge
the Earth of the scum slowly
oozing across its face.

Nothing but incoherent grunts and
snarls of inconvenience
between fat gorillas,
too stubborn to just get up and
move.

What happened to our race
that was supposed to be the best?

When did our minds atrophy in our skulls,
rotting while we live;
our hearts harden into clumps of
filthy dry ice, the caustic kisses
given a welcome feeling to lovers;
our souls become dim flickers
in a deserted mine shaft, mere rhinestones
that should have been diamonds
sparkling brilliantly in the dark?

How did the Earth die...
yet no one knew it?
