Introduced Species
To the earth no to witness our birth.
Like parasites we crawl out of the dirt.
Like salt to soil we come to spoil.
In a world not our own we are meant to toil.
To the skies our thoughts stray.
For reasons unknown were left to stay.
Reasons invented to comfort were told to pray.
War after war we have sustained.
Through our arrogance we hope to maintain.
Through mental deprivation we have slain.
Evolution is absolution our will we bend.
Journey onward toward the end.
Primitive we are what message to send?
