Kill to Look Good
By Alchemist
A warm effervescence roams
And fills the summer showers
But riddles
the coast bare from
Gale force and monsoons for hours
Sowers of futures bittersweet glow
Some will get a perpetual
energy flow
The direction of todays revelations
Will
be traced through the numbing snow
With a blast of
heat rocketing out
For a like-clockwork mechanical show
Its a miraculously Darwinian blow
That re-evaluates the
stripes in the code
Bombs create an affluence for gloom
Years later theres still soot on the roads
And clouds
of stale toxic feral molds
Its a sick sixth sense like
mood
Give man the credit he deserves
He knows how
to kill to look good

i own the movie "The Road". This takes me back to it. Once i secretly wished the bomb would go off, to return the world to that which it was meant...until i read the book and saw the movie. Nothing was meant that. We are the only living things with the ability to end ourselves, and you're absolutely right...it's all a show. It's unfortunate that Darwinism includes us, but that's just my take. Let's just say...were we removed from the equation i wouldn't mourn the loss of us, and that's not in a negative way though it sounds like it is. We've simply gone too far for our ability to comprehend our power and use it wisely. i'd prefer an epidemic to the bomb. ;) Darwinism also includes extraterrestrial conception. Too bad we don't have our 'ancestors' to observe or to teach us how to get it right. We shall go on.

Shawn, if I understand you correctly, this is about a new planet and the creation of life from the elemental - and then the ending of it, thanks to Man
