“I'll find them" I say as I come across another corpse The blood leaking out of the open wounds inflicted upon them. Turning their intellect into a poison that eats them inside out. They're gone now (blanched from existence), I look around And see the bones on which My “exceptionalism” stands. Unnoticed by most but I sense their ghosts in the spaces that should be filled. The same system that killed my kin, demands I cannibalize them to sell me as a relic - a reminder of what was But I never forget - or forgive - a murderer.
