Humanity
The destructivity within
is like a time bomb in each human heart
which must eat out our souls
and leave them rotting down to waste
like offals worse than any litter –
we are all as human beings human wrecks,
a failed humanity that goes to ruin
trying to bring with us in our fall
our entire planet, nature, life and future;
but as that accomplished failure
which all humankind hopelessly is,
we will not even bring that ruin home
but perish well ahead of nature and all else.
How laughable is this pathetic humankind!
All history went wrong, and we got nothing right,
and here we are, the crown of all creation,
the most miserable fool that ever could exist.
