Mulling over this
destruction.
Not what we
thought that it would be.
Crude,
and lacking imagination,
so brutal,
almost as to be child-like.
We gave you more credit
than you ever deserved.
Used to be so subtle,
now you’re cutting through the nerve,
and still playing the victim
with a script that’s so absurd,
you’re willing to burn the world
in your hubris.
Things used to be
different with you.
You took the time to mine
your point of view.
You cared about the world,
or so it seemed,
perhaps all that
was part of your scheme.
But, now it seems
the bloom’s come off the rose.
Your hidden goals
have been exposed,
and instead of keeping composed,
you’re trying the throw
the whole world in the fire,
so that you might have control.
Are you so close
to losing all you’ve gained
that you’re going for
the Hail Mary play?
“One for all the cards”,
or so they say.
Are you gambling your humanity away?
Whatever you win or lose,
we lose the same.
The peasantry
is sniffing out your game.
The whole world
used to be a stage,
but it’s clear
that it will be our grave.
So sit back,
relax.
Know that judgement comes
for us all.
Not plans of man
ever survive first contact,
we are all
children of consequence
of our avarice
and our hubris.
Time to join
the tyrants in line
for justice.
