Divine Species
Imagine a mind
Even more intelligent, sharp, and futuristic
Than the contortions of pink tissue in our skull
Imagine a species evolved out of us
The muscle fibers and calcium powdered bones we share
The hunger of our bellies, and a hunger for survival we share
But then comes a divide in desire
A desire to be a star that shines brighter
A blinding white, stinging light
So bright it blinds all the rest of us
With a desire to fly higher
Came a greed so vigorous
It created a ruinous war
With greed and war, came a sense of pride
Not a pride that’s a shimmering warm gold
But a pride that’s a murky dark green mold
That clogs lungs and sucks the air
So they put a mask of righteousness and virtue
Pretending to be something more divine more civil
But then they struck their swords
And showed their inner darkness that flows violently in their hearts
They pick out the most beautiful of us
Scrape our skins
Till we remain as bleeding bags of bones, lay wasted on the roads
Cut our limbs
And hang us on their walls, and bloat about it to their pals
Cage us in their homes, and tie ropes around our throats
And we stood by
As they laugh at our tears and our cries of pain
And we will remain forever their slaves
Our lives boiled down to vain
And maybe we’d deserve it
After all we aren’t strangers
To that dark fluid that flows in every vein
Oil
A dirty mucky thing
It is a blob of yellow translucent liquid
Has a stinging alcoholic aroma, that is so addictive
A dirty mucky thing
It is first born in deep deep lands
Around dirt and dust, and chunks of grime
A dirty mucky thing
Spilled out from big tanks floating on the sea
Turing the clear blue sea into a black filthy layer of
A dirty mucky thing
If it ever enters our lungs
It will clog the space, stick to our flesh and choke us out
A dirt mucky thing
It is so very desired by the men in big chairs
Willing to throw bullets and bombs just for this
Dirty mucky thing
It has dripped itself on our beautiful planet full of freshness
Made into something fake, plastic, and mechanized
Like a caramel apple
Taking away the fresh and original
And making it something overly sweet
A destructible substance,
A dirty mucky thing
