Sighted by the gods
nameless deities of time and space
void of religion
thriving in sheer existence
born of and from the stasis
WE ARE IN THEIR SIGHTS
NOW
humankind, advancements made
over decades and centuries
IMAGINATIONS burgeoning
not every accomplishment
has a history of VIOLENCE
but our progress begets greed
the mortal FLAW
NO DEED GONE UNPUNISHED
CLEANSE US
Look to the stars
don't just see potential
feel it
FEEL IT
like rivers of liquescent galaxies
pumping through your arteries
we will no longer be hog-tied
to a system of FALLACIES
“see me see the truth
watch my face change
watch my flesh fade”
our greatest progress
will be capitulating our race
TO BECOMING UNGLUED
our grandest achievement
will be the colonization
of space, in death and spirit
SEE ME SEE THE TRUTH
WATCH MY FACE CHANGE
WATCH MY FLESH FADE
