I reach for the stars only to fade away, nothing remains lit but the silence of the haze, the haze symbolizing the decline of humanity. When moral decadence and apathy are at their peak, the sun shines without the same zeal we once saw.
I used to wonder at the beauty, I could smell it through my tender un-nurtured nostrils. I know you could smell it too, back when we looked forward to the future with open arms. We would laugh at our own misfortune because nothing could move us, not even the Earthquakes that shook the innocent in Haiti, not the tsunamis, not the hurricanes. Now everything has changed. So many different things to worry about, taking a stroll down the park has become a death warrant
Why has the world changed? Or is it I, us who have changed, have we evolved so much that we have outgrown our humanity. That sense of care that linked us to each other and to the animals. Remember the days we ran with the dykes, leapt with the antelopes and roared with the lions. What has become of us now; dictators like Hitler we are. We kill for pleasure for sport for the sheer love of it, we even kill poison our environment. Are the words of Nietzche a prediction are we mere placeholders, destroying our selves for the coming of a greater species.Evolution works in mysterious ways
