We consider ourselves
Evolved
Because we come up with theories like
Evolution.
We accept our ability to perform
Basic tasks,
Without understanding
How we got that ability,
That knowledge,
Necessary for the task
Irrelevant for the goal.
What is the goal?
Nature tells us:
"Survive."
We obey.
We live on.
Until we don't.
And what happens
Once we don't?
Once we're gone?
Termination of people and
Termination of destruction:
A mutually dependent relationship.
The promise of more,
Of change,
Of making an impact,
Impacts us.
But not enough
To cause
A tremor.
Stuck in a vacuum
Of aimless time and
Aimless energy
Limitless potential
Wasted on surviving.
