Systematic Refinement

As minds expand I can see potential

I can reach into the darkness

I can see the pain of the land vividly

As I carry on pressing with the harvest

I witness the fruits of the land transfer

From the soil to the palm of my hand

I am hooked now I can't stop sucking on the teet

Filling me with arrogance

OH - I must continue to grow

Justifying stains that appear on my conscience

As I modify nature's genetic make-up

I continue to improve

I keep stretching the elements apart

As I cater to my compulsions

I am becoming Above, More than just the flesh and heart

You will worship what I've done

Systematic Refinement

Mother nature - I feel I have outgrown thee

I have become a god unto myself - an entity

The ground shakes as I rewrite the laws of the land

For what you've given me I am not content

I seek to conquer my surrounds - no equilibrium

Balance breaks as I assert my dominant hand

Gather round, See the altered state of reality

I've perpetuated

I've improved, I've advanced

I have hurdled all that stands in the way of progress

I am the law of the land

Doctoring all that I can't stand

I have become more than man

Standing alone at the top of life's peak
