Monolinear

but a collection of slim syllables which became monolinear
to keep the vocabulary from becoming even skinnier

no matter what is written, experienced or elegantly lied
existence flows toward eternity for change will not be denied

trying not to get lost in depth of individual helplessness
prime numbers and beings stand entirely on their own prerequisites

denial that existence must be about each species improvement
would deeply flawed gods create humans simply for their own amusement?

where things choose to correspond to individual dependencies
hard to shed the burdens of our ancestors' habits and tendencies

written history becomes polluted, diluted, often obscured
all remembrance soon fades, despite how robust or heavily insured
human lives are molded by the severity of challenges endured
