one day all of a sudden people will realize
they will see that forever have we existed
under the power of
what we cannot see, cannot hold, cannot comprehend
for to do so
would be blasphem, would be sacrilege, would be wrong
one day people will realize
all we hold most potent has been hidden
up the mountains, in the forests, under the seas
controlled, manipulated by the a select few who
knew the words, knew the motions, knew the artefacts
yet one day people will realize
the power has not been
up the mountains, in the forests or under the seas
it has been the mountains, it has been the forests, it has been the seas
the select few who controlled the words, the motions, the artefacts
they are we, they are all, they are human
they breathe, they bleed, they eat
they love, they die, they weep
why need there be a supernatural
when nature is super enough
why need the unknown to give us friendship, love, laughter
when we, as people, naturally learned we need these to survive
is that not great enough? is that not amazing enough?
are we secretly ashamed of our world, ourselves?
that we can admire its beauty but claim it not the most beautiful
how dare we be unfit to see the most beautiful!
why must we wait for a heaven when a heaven is around us
why must we wait for eternal friendship when we have had it all our lives
why must we wait for true love, when it’s been there from the beginning
one day humans will realize their true potential
and on that day i shall weep
for we will destroy the mountains, destroy the forests, destroy the seas
and the most beautiful will be gone
we will do it because it was a mockery of that which comes later
so we have thought
but there will be no later
for nature will turn her back on her own
and all that was natural, and all that was supernatural
will finally realize the err of their ways
humans never truly learned from sadness
they thought it only temporary
they thought the end would come and all would be good
but we had missed the point
the end had already come
it was already good
we were already living it
and we destroyed it.
