Fallen Towers, and Decayed Citadels

The burnt remains of the world's greatest cities
Will linger long after the human species is gone
Digital tech and DNA edits, demand a complicity
We shouldn't feel insulted over blame for our spawn
We are the genesis of this world, intricate, elaborate
Now the few of us remaining need to be honest
Every single thing we did killed our planet
And we sold our independence for a song
AI and cloning will destroy our species
Soon enough, an oblivion, for which
We are the cause

“There will come a time when it isn't 'They're spying on me through my phone'
anymore. Eventually, it will be 'My phone is spying on me'.” Philip K. Dick
