"Mankind" a Poem by Dalton Johnson
MANKIND
Destroying what was once a part of itself, by slaughtering ancestral rituals
Benighting younger generations to come. Implementing unnecessary accommodations
only to encourage loneliness, misconstrued as independence, and laziness, interpreted
as efficiency.
Natural selection, no longer able
to weed out the mentally and physically inept.
Identities lost, progression halted, extinction inevitable.
