dear world
dear world,
truth has become an undercurrent from which we take our humanity
as you tumble down, spiraling, lost in the clutches of a scrambling mankind
intelligence tossed away as if a puppet of unimportant reality
the quest for revolution either scoffed at or denied
you drown in the magnitude of the ever expanding universe
while we drown in the follies of our ignorance
for what we have done to you, casting curse after curse
the only way we can solve it now is to understand through perseverance
you are dying slowly, as all manner of worldy issues threaten to escalate
but we, your next leaders, can still spark a change to make your death worth the wait
for you, the light shines bright - a beacon of hope among the stars
and we will overcome our mortality, preserving you as our everlasting memoir
to you, we apologize
for our human nature that has caused you this chaotic destruction
for you, we hope
through our intelligence and curiosity to bring back your natural splendor in compensation
with you, we fall
slowly, into the universe, as the end will one day overcome us all
