when a living creature
has an unnatural state
inflicted upon its existence
things rarely turn out well
for the specimen
.
war
starvation
drought
intoxication
concentration camps
laboratory foods
pharmaceutical cultures
imprisonment
unhappy marriage
industrialization
slavery
religion
Los Angeles International Airport
and
the digital imposition
that is
the internet
.
yet we can’t stop meddling
with our world
.
when what remains
of humanity
can no longer see the sun
.
we will blame pollution
and the microchip
.
yet it is our own
irreverent
parasitic instincts
.
too late to admit
human psychology
was the harbinger
of our own death
