Primordial

We place ourselves at the centre of creation

Never to appreciate the finer terms for our existence

Overwhelmed by the power the human mind can generate

Accelerate, mutate, evolve

Humanity had to accept its fate

One step too far genetic survival is continual war

Set stage across the face of the earth’s planetary crust

The position as the first mover has now been reinvented

Hence, the primal recreates its premise

Can we absolve the threat of our being?

We all know our own limitations

Let’s pretend there’s a way, our destination

Yet, we cannot restart, the programme is set

Bloodshed crude word how about eugenic euphoria?

Compelled by the carnal lust that resides within us all

Natural selection it's under the shadow of extinction

Too virulent to accept the limits of our apprehension

Telling ourselves it isn’t so, thoughts prevail

The malice that is our environment

Sculpts beings to be able manage it

Equips sentience to deal with it

Under the pretence that we shall once come to dominate it

Infer upon life’s habitual contradictions

Logic must follow, our words are forfeit, observe epitome

Beauty is hollow, low

To the world’s disservice, the human strain continues burn

Is there a reason for remorse? Is there a reason for it all?

Beyond description humanity abets its fall

First, last and always a chance mutation

Devoid of purpose, genesis starts with another’s eradication
