Planetary Catharsis

This kindred of separation this breed apart this top of the food chain and its self distinction by the manipulation of thumbs This arrogance of intelligence with its pocket-sized reasoning of knowledge and by default applies its logic this incongruent species of taking everything for granted These nations of waring factions and the tyrannies of their religions and all their obsessive obsessions with death and all their cognitive dissonance of life All the distractions the desperate intentions to impart some measure of meaning some inkling of purpose for a life they have never really lived Predisposed to elitism by their own sense of division this bipedal predator of vertebrate mammalian assumes all of creation was only created for them And in their frustration and with their playground experience they build all manner of weapons to beat the crap out of the people living with them Still the sun shines and only by its grace do they continue to exist all the quantum theories and universal singularities do not help them with catharsis they survive only by the elements of a planetary symbiosis
