Evolution, Hold My Beer

They say humans are as evolved

as evolution gets —

and yet, they could never agree

on just being a species

Being Homo Sapiens was never enough

So first, they built walls,

then drew lines on land,

then etched them in their memories —

until delusion was made a habit of

and passed for matter-of-fact

They invented gods,

then demigods,

prophets and messiahs —

as many as it would take

to fracture a species

into fragile fragments

of righteous noise

And when they had enough

to pick favourites from,

they turned back to sticks and stones —

tools once used to survive,

now sharpened into synonyms

for destruction and devastation

Because defeat isn’t defeat enough.

Because death is the ultimate defeat

Killing your own kind

is cannibalism —

but they called it nationalism,

they called it religion,

they called it terrorism —

because they’re on the wrong side

of the psychiatric ward

How dare you call yourself evolved

when you can’t stand the sight

of your own skin and flesh,

blood and bones —

can’t stop at disagreeing

without tearing

skin from skin,

blood from blood,

bone from bone —

like it was your goddamned birthright

If you pride in humanity my dear friend,

I'm afraid you're a rather juvenile idiot

Humanity is nothing but a cosmic piece of shit 

that couldn't fit in a commode and get flushed into extinction
