A False Human Future

I feel like I've been alive

one million times before

maybe once a scarab beetle

or a soldier in the Boer war

my joints having turned to dust, 

my brain rotting away

I’m more than ready to except the decay

becoming sand once again,

a bodiless being free from pain

or maybe a slave 

during Tutankhamun’s reign

fused into metaphysics 

etched perfectly into hieroglyphics

I came down from the sun 

millennia before the earth begun

I saw its crust cauterised and cast

there’s a map of its past 

hidden in the stars,

constellations are markers

enabling fast travel, 

as the universe unravels,

interdimensional intention

uses unseen intervention

frequency control is running rife,  

mother earth having fallen on

both sides of the knife

she’s become a dumping ground 

for human life 

a genetic experiment 

gone terribly wrong, 

such a thin thread 

civilisation now hangs from,

we’re just animals

no different to the meat we eat

if the rules were to change 

and we had to compete 

we’d devour one another,

sister killing brother,

brother killing mother 

concocting flamboyant recipes 

to make human skin more appealing,

the thought of reincarnating again?

I just can’t deal with the pain,

walking tight ropes until I’m dead

modern life is like a spear through the head

Mother Earth? 

there’s only so long 

we can abuse her 

all of this is leading

to a false human future
