The trees weep acid baking in the sun
Species turn to ghosts lost to time
Ancient ice crumbles into the sea
Forward never back, that’ll save the world
Design, innovate, extend, accelerate
ever faster towards extinction
The greedy feed before the masses
monsters pushing through the crowd
their mouths slick with blood
We are blind, deaf, and dumb
faceless puppets until we make a stand
The Guillotine is rusty.
