We’ve changed nothing
And learned even less
Mnemonic to kill the cancer
That envelops
No self sacrifice
Much too selfish
Life is the most blessed of gifts
Each life is a map
To the beginning of time
It is waste
To destroy history in ways unfathomable
Seeping poison of thought
That saved the present
At the risk of the future
Just to bury the past
Greed and paranoia
Perfect breeding ground for progress
And regression
Not a man alive is honest
And the future bleeds at the behest
Of the dishonest
Lying to the public
Begins with a lie to yourself
This tragedy is that the punishment for dishonesty
Is the lives of your children
Slaves to ourselves
An enemy beyond comprehension
And it pretends friendship
Death was never the ultimate price
The price was always your soul
Your humanity
Your children
Our future
Given the chance
Who would not save us all
In the utopian myth
Dystopian slaying of illusions
Where any can find where they stand
Praying for apocalypse
Ending of the world
All must be laid to waste
That it begins anew
World born in perfection
Shattered into this
Start again
Flawed
Entropy in reverse
Perfection uninhibited
Paradox
