Mankind think of themselves like deity, Yet they are unable to touch the stars; They foul the world, searching for aureity And when earth dies they search for life on Mars We ignore the collateral damage; We ignore the all-consuming wildfires That burn the world, leaving it in famine; Man acts high and mighty on their pyres We train our children to stand in straight rows, Murdering all their creativity; We tell them life’s purpose is buying clothes Cynically we prompt naivety Here, above, with no more conspiracies, These are the faults of the perfect species.

The Faults of the Perfect Species
Mankind think of themselves like deity, Yet they are unable to touch the stars; They foul the world, searching for aureity And when earth dies they search for life on Mars We ignore the collateral damage; We ignore the all-consuming wildfires That burn the world, leaving it in famine; Man acts high and mighty on their pyres We train our children to stand in straight rows, Murdering all their creativity; We tell them life’s purpose is buying clothes Cynically we prompt naivety Here, above, with no more conspiracies, These are the faults of the perfect species.
