Let's set aside for a moment
The ideological connotations of the debate
And take a minute to reflect and acknowledge
Our true nature seems no different than amoebae
And I contemplate, ambivalently, over humanity's behavior
The strides and turns throughout our fraught history
And how we tend to out-compete the very things we depend upon
Swept away - even as our surroundings succumb
We cannot find our way out
Procreate - a higher purpose is a figment
Of our imagination
s** - the very thing all sentient lifeforms share
The basic premise for species' continuation
Funny how it makes us cast aside our attributes of rational thinking
Added irony: our basic urge to disseminate our genes
Turns out to be our most destructive weapon
The quintessential program which we are all equipped
Is a double-edged sword
Swept away - even as our surroundings succumb
We cannot find our way out
Procreate - a higher purpose is a figment
Of our imagination
Evolution is interdependency by design
Or is it disparity with impunity?
And we a**ume nothing, nothing of this world
Still believe there's an intelligent force behind our existence?
