Let's set aside for a moment
The ideological connotations of the debate
And take a minute to reflect and acknowledge
Our true nature seems no different than amoebae
And I contemplate, ambivalently, over humanity's behavior
The strides and turns throughout our fraught history
And how we tend to out-compete the very things we depend upon
Swept away - even as our surroundings succumb
We cannot find our way out
Procreate - a higher purpose is a figment
Of our imagination
Sex - the very thing all sentient lifeforms share
The basic premise for species' continuation
Funny how it makes us cast aside our attributes of rational thinking
Added irony: our basic urge to disseminate our genes
Turns out to be our most destructive weapon
The quintessential program which we are all equipped
Is a double-edged sword
Swept away - even as our surroundings succumb
We cannot find our way out
Procreate - a higher purpose is a figment
Of our imagination
Evolution is interdependency by design
Or is it disparity with impunity?
And we assume nothing, nothing of this world
Still believe there's an intelligent force behind our existence?
