Primordial

We place ourselves at the centre of creation
Never to appreciate the finer terms for our existence
Overwhelmed by the power the human mind can generate
Accelerate, mutate, evolve
Humanity had to accept its fate

One step too far genetic survival is continual war
Set stage across the face of the earth’s planetary crust

The position as the first mover has now been reinvented
Hence, the primal recreates its premise

Can we absolve the threat of our being?
We all know our own limitations
Let’s pretend there’s a way, our destination
Yet, we cannot restart, the programme is set

Bloodshed crude word how about eugenic euphoria?
Compelled by the carnal lust that resides within us all

Natural selection it's under the shadow of extinction
Too virulent to accept the limits of our apprehension
Telling ourselves it isn’t so, thoughts prevail

The malice that is our environment
Sculpts beings to be able manage it
Equips sentience to deal with it
Under the pretence that we shall once come to dominate it

Infer upon life’s habitual contradictions

Logic must follow, our words are forfeit, observe epitome
Beauty is hollow, low
To the world’s disservice, the human strain continues burn

Is there a reason for remorse? Is there a reason for it all?
Beyond description humanity abets its fall
First, last and always a chance mutation
Devoid of purpose, genesis starts with another’s eradication
