Premium Member Primate On a Limb

Blissful he appears
Enjoys nature’s habitat --
Survival instinct

We have missed something
Only man kills for greed, sport --
We are devolving

Commemoration

Delicate purity
Softly pallid
None akin
Of affection and beauty
Chilling 

Seraphic tears 
Wept
Sodden snippets
Of yesterdays 
Monochrome
Reminders 
Without order
Devolving back
To nothingness

Amorous and beautiful
But so cold

Premium Member Devolution

Humans are devolving
No question
Just dissolving
Into madness
Short-lived
Empty mindedness
If that’s what you feel
So be it
The rest of us sit outside
Nothing left to hide

We are anonymous
‘Cuz the oligarchs won

…see you in the next life.

Premium Member Visions of a Tropical Dystopia

Horrible blobs crawling on the radar threatening detonations punctuating torpid oppression promising a merciless deluge Robotic insects invading Wrathful humans devolving Nature devouring Order dissipating Ambient lyrical drones bathing the dystopic landscape inculcating visions of an alternate world

Bubble Branes

We float in spheres of loneliness
On pancake-branes so numerous.

Viewing down a sky-bound 'scape,
A microbial colony of working ape.

Trying to better our genetic canvass --
Or, devolving into primitive madness.

Schizophrenic species of love and hate
That builds, creates and burns to berate.

Our children the elders must engage,
To cool the world of its bubbling rage....
