Arrival

Arrival

The self-destructive gene reigns over humanity, Supreme

How hard our intrinsic Light strives and puts up a noble fight

But Darkness’ Cloak lurks in the shadows seeking night

Using emotions that blind and bite

We’re mostly water so waves ebb and flow

Regret and cries for forgiveness is the after show

The human tides rage, mollify and then implode

Wreckage is remembered in monuments and prayers on overload

The evasive “why” is like searching for the ‘nth second prior

That moment before Creation when all was neither water nor fire

Maybe that’s the clue, all’s potential and the future

So the future’s before the present because it’s all now

Alas, metaphysics doesn’t divulge why

Somewhere between reason and unreason, thought goes dry

And the shift’s to an Idea whose time’s come

Even Victor Hugo couldn’t explain that one
