What is our society if not a copycat catastrophe A cold-hearted calamity of blind hindsight Severed chains reforged in the flames of minimum wage How we herald the heretic Free is the slave who detaches their arms and legs To gift kings their reign Jeweled towers of bone reach to the sky And devour the progress of our connective open roads What is prosperity absent a shared purpose Like a brain held apart from its own heart Human history imprisoned on a page Ink-stained chronicle of our original sin Thinking we can get where were going By forgetting all we have been Each obstacle a handcrafted impediment Dinosaur dynasty doomed to irrelevance

Stop a second, and take a look around. Our disparate morality slowly washing beneath the waves. When will we understand the meaning of humanity?
