This Morning's Thoughts

The advancement of man
is the deterioration 
of mankind’s morality.

For each new improvement,
as defined by man’s ego,
we descend further down.

Will something be invented
to stop the descent 
and prevent our demise?

Or, will man continue his quest
to be better than He, who created,
and foolishly kill himself?
