The Rigidity of Human Evolution (or How The Blades Are Sharpened Against Us)
the new form replaces the old
what’s left of the old
passes
for a lineage
that we follow
naturally
but, there is nothing
natural
about this order
we can
no longer
trust our senses
we have become
senseless
able
to feel our way
in the dark
cut off
from any
collective
humanity
we once
shared
now all
we will
know
is what it was like
before
the last lurch
toward oblivion
sent all the souls
flying
& all of the
angels we
once dreamed
of
became a mist
of tears & the
echos of screams
because we failed
to evolve
in time
