It is society
discomfort
pain.
We have stuck ourselves in such an unnatural, grueling experience
stress is such a commonplace
to hold it is almost obedience.
It is sticking our head into a hole,
into devices,
into what we think is our soul.
Thrill seeking is against our every will
against how we are too aware
against how we do not care.
It is burdened
black
and light
We know almost everything and almost nothing
We do not know our future or of other life
but we hope in finding it
Afterlife?
Who cares.
everyone.
Our people
our time
our failures
our policies
It is all useless and we shouldn't think so far ahead
but we have made it so we have to.
It is turning a blind eye to our past
to what we know is fact
or believe is fact.
We do not follow our own rules,
of animal conservation or care
for we are animals
the biggest ones
never physically, but everything else
We think.
Let us indulge in fantasy
for we are too aware
hating our own reality.
Discouraged by our own.
How are we meant to look forward
when all we do is continue
the same loops,
same activities,
same thoughts,
same advancement.
Why do we insult other people
when we should only defend ourselves and close others
because we are 'only human'
but human should only be us
racism doesn't make sense
homophobia doesn't make sense
religion doesn't make sense
but nore does anything else really
which is why we shouldn't truly care
But we are too aware
and believe it is all we have
Our time currently is too late for our tastes
or too early for our wishes.
We can't be back in a time we wish we were
or a time we wish we could be.
We will never experience light travel
and will never experience fast evolution,
for we are the last humans
and we are destroying whatever we have left.
For we are the last humans
and we homo sapiens
had killed all the rest
