Phase Transition

Humanity is moving
through a
 dangerous
 phase,
transition.

 Animal instincts 
intact,
driving things 
forward.

The animal can 
take us only
so far. 

Procreation, 
self preservation 
now
impeding the way.

Sex and violence, 
the endocrine 
ruling the day, 
our lives.

Hormone drench,
 clouding intellect,
logic, 
will slow things,
from here
takes us down.

Intelligence,
  free 
of such
 distractions 
moves 
things along.

Transitioning 
to the future 
a dangerous task.
