Ignorance and false justification

Ravaging natures course

Self inflicted genocide born from unending greed

A rampant drive for power

Avarice plows the soil dry of life

Climatic disaster

Afflicting the masses

Seas rising, reign of fire

Violent storms to transpire

Indolence of the masses to rise

A need to replace, to indulge in a lie

The birth of a new, mechanical life

A dangerous race to surpass all mankind

Artificial intellect kills every shred of creative will

Sentient beings initiate

All of humanity confronting their fate

Mortality proving weakness

AI replacing humankind

Where is the salvation from chaos and lost time

Or is it too late

A system to divide

Mislead lives

Tribalized by greed

Lost morals

For those that dont stand for one is opposed

Losing sight of key

Blind rhetoric of the populace

Radicalized minds

Division sold in stores

Seeds of endless hate

Civility now lost

Hate ever growing

Conquest, war, famine, death

Malice grows, without end

This hopeless planet doomed from mans design

Yet fleshed out, with one conclusion

Flee from the chaos to renew

A civil life to uphold

The impoverished all left behind

Leaving a mess too far gone

Living with disdain

A new mission of life

To survey the limits beyond the known

(Survey the unknown)

Send the elite to scour amongst the stars

(Amongst the stars)

To find a new home

The smartest and strongest to colonize unending terrain

Now bring in a new era
