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

no longer

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
