LVX CREARE

I know we are all doomed and
that the men in ivory towers
give us no more than a thousand
years of human life on earth

until we drown ourselves in filth

I concede we’re self important
it’s every man for his own self
and we must trample all the others
before they dare to get ahead

rats on a great spinning wheel

I know it’s probably true that
it’s all the fault of those preceding
the way the turned a blinded eye to
the trouble piling up down here

that’s no excuse to repeat their mistakes
