Watch

We are not kind.

Watch as we selfishly indulge. Endure the mass of greedy hands as they take chunks of your flesh only to waste what they have in favor of poisoning your breath and blood. Bare witness as the child gives no thanks for what they have been given, but instead cry for what they do not have. Punish them as you must though they still insist on their defiance. Short of thought and absent minded they pluck and consume and cut and destroy and poison and kill with only a concern for a place beyond their bountiful life. Let them treat their brothers and sisters cruelly so they may feel uplifted if only for a second. Mere obstacles in a game crafted in their damned imaginations, may they see there is no victor to be crowned! Natural apathy has created a predator unable to see past its own self and yet still some ignore its presence. This newer age has only competition to show as the battle to preserve wants over needs wages but no victor should be crowned. Watch the aware species drift into dark fantasy and it will watch you weep with a smirk.
