"Contrivance"

so sick of these
man made impurities
each sprocket cog and circuit board
evolution of mind and technology
not of body as life intends
yet we defend
the style
sense
and simplicities
our egotistical grasp of right
purpose
and possibilities
it’s in these ways we lack basic humility
the sanity to protect our longevity
manifest humanities insecurities
this atrocity
it's over
a new breed of metal and mass
man made superiority
let it pass
the last of mans responsibilities
left to the artless
heartless
and
unimaginative
it’s our need to create that kills us
the need to advance that wills us
so impatient
mankind’s views
and desires
it’s here and now
want and need
that will lead to the silence
ever growing
never knowing
impervious to the task at hand
yet we demand,
desire,
require simplicity
the ability
to live out or days in infamy
the death throws of work, effort, and humility
