The Iridium Layer

Evolution births our conscious thought and seeks to fix in time
The twisting currents of the cosmos in the human mind
Blueprints of death
Designs of demise
Left here to attest
A layer of iridium
Fossilized message
To be heard or ignored
Condition of frailty
Destined to recur
The forces that support life on this fragile rock
Are in constant motion
Forfeit, all life
See the fire in the sky?
Man made? God sent?
The consequences are the same
Denial of hard facts
Delays preparation
Feasting with fools
In drunk futility
Experimenting, childlike, high on our creations
Wearing the crosshairs we await retaliation
Divine?
A gift received, squandered
Deafened ears go numb
Shirking paths, we wander
Upon iridium
Embracing savageness we conquer
Seeking sacrifice
Praying to ancient Gods, alone
We watch the sky
