Posthuman

What tis' the work of man 
to leave a testament 
to his grand plans, 
the usurper of the throne 
eternal is, man!

The after image 
of a lost god left 
a cold planet 
our former mother, 

Mother Earth. 

We use and abuse toss aside 
the husk of humanity 
the aftermath of an arrogant divinity! 

We live, love, destroy, 
we feed, bleed
&
Breed?
...lay waste to everything we don’t understand 
no faith in our father's fate to repeat.

From our destiny to our sin 
Desolations of our history! 

…in our post-human waste.
