Staring into the future
With earnest dreams and hope
But we haven't escaped the past
We barely have risen from the mud
From being the butcher
Of everything we meet
We imagine ourselves bright
So very certain
That we are the greatest beast
Of the cosmic jungle
But the ruins of our world
Ancient and standing
Show the foolish hubris
Of all of our thoughts
And dreams
And beliefs
We are the apex predator
Bored of the home world slaughter
And desire other beings
To make meat
We are so young
Our wisdom is far lacking
We are the dead
For our limits
Will strand us
Upon this world
