How far? Too far.

Give up now
Turn around
Run in the other direction for a good Thirty years
It is still not enough

We have ruined too much
Come too far
Learnt too much
And forgotten much more

We have erected
Buildings
Towers
Aerials
Monuments
And our own egos to the top of the food chain
We have fucked everything that stands beneath it all

Thanks to our superiority
Not even impotence can save the planet

We stand with great smiles on our faces
Pissing into the wind with flaccid genitals in hand
Safe in the knowledge that science will breed for us

We don’t seem to realise
Or care
That the effluent we expel from ourselves, is rapidly filling our lungs and bodies to capacity, with a cumulative toxicity of thousands of years

This ignorance is perhaps our only saviour
And it scares me that I have had this thought at all
If I have had it
Who else has?

What if they find a way to avert this disaster?
What if they find a way to squeeze the last of the blood from this dry globe stone?
What if we don’t die?
What if we take flight to some other place?

I have one message, if you are listening

Dear Universe,
Please invest in a chastity belt,
We come not it peace,
We are here to fuck you beyond comprehension and indeed recognition.
