HumanityA Poem by TheArchAngelIn a thousands of striding
years humanity has ran, there has been no finish line. There has been no applauding crowd awaiting their hasty arrival, and there has
been no sight of the finish line. Of the end. Humanity has had the ignorance and the passion to be blind of the end and to
fight across every natural milestone the ancient universe foresees. But what reason does humanity give to oppose forces greater than their own? Every creature before them and every creature after them will all bow down, to
the influences of the universe. For creatures that humanity sees as inferior know their place in the hierarchy
of existence, how is it that “simple minded” creatures know their place and
that humanity “complex minded” creatures refuse to acknowledge their place and
be compliant with their fate? It’s the mere fact that humanity has the ability to think with logical and
rational purpose. That is the only reason humanity gives to the universe for its insatiable
ignorance. Is that reason good enough? Does that reason hold truth to it? Perhaps in our ignorance we refuse to see other species as possible equals,
perhaps we bound others to be lower than us. We chain them down to fit our “righteous” ideals, as if humanity hasn’t done
that yet to its own kind. Regardless of our ignorance, and our passion to overcome the extinction of our
species. One cannot avoid the simple truths of existence. Death will own us all and Justice will prevail.
