Humans
The only species who forgot they were organisms
eat. sleep. reproduce. Die.
Repeat
just like everyone else, but somehow we feel superior
So anything else is inferior
we have been given divine authority to
rule dominion over life
And yet can’t stop our own demise.
instead we pre-occupy our minds with meaningless things,
we hyper-fixate on a screen, overdosing on dopamine.
Involve our selves in foreign affairs
And leave our children with au pairs
raising a generation who knows no neighbor, but user @theHottest
I don't know if you feel it
like we’re missing something
our purpose
no. Not the one indoctrinated by religion
not the one we sign away with student debts
not the one focused on money, success, or status
but our connection with earth
that innate need to survive
when we absolutely needed Mother Earth to survive.
Or will we kill her before we know we need her.

- Comment from author about the poem: This is how I’ve been feeling lately. As humans we know absolute nothing nor do we have control over anything. Regardless of this we still operate in such manner. We create systems to oppress others, to have control. But none of this matters because we’re all going to die anyway.
