Entropy, Empty

We rose up, from the clay, after
Drowning in a primordial ooze
The genesis experiment failed
Mind reeling, sorrow swallowed
Taking a paradise and ruining it
Asked for our motives and proof
We stare blankly, no empathy
Had we cared, damage remains
We'd a world perfect, refused it
Our species demanded perfection
For our hubris, we created entropy
Order fell into chaos, insurrection
This world was covered in shadow
Waiting in vain for a renewal
But it would die, without restoration
We've nothing to offer, but silence
For we have nothing but guilt
And we deny our shame
