Ephemeral Morality - Inherit Disease

False sense of hope aided by religious

Concepts blinds the populace

We are smiling as we traverse

The apex of our civilization

Our abuse sours the earth

As well as ourselves

We painfully realize our misdirection

Horrid experimentation begins

A struggle to adapt

A series of genomic failures

Starting on the poor

Mutilating, altering the flesh

A modern day bloodletting

A scramble to revamp the human body

Our inner barbarity fusing with

Our latest technology

Augmented cadavers

Sprawl the black horizon

Experimentation slows to a crawl

There will be no way to adapt in time

But we will continue the attempt

Our once ignorantly blissful race

Is now a flickering light

That feeds on itself
