Derelict Earth

Elegy for Decayed Nations

This is the dismal story of dwindling peoples:
Deserved punishment for misunderstood freedoms,
Which lead the vultures to replace the eagles
And to the sclerosis of once glorious kingdoms.

Milleniums of unrelenting evolution
To reach an apex we are now leaving behind.
Following the trail of cultures that declined
To obtain in fire and blood their absolution.

Primal hatred of others, resurgent atavism,
The horde has shunned its heroes and burned its banners,
Its virtuous superseded by profligate sinners,
The absolute victory of greed and egoism.

Witness the end of men
As dusk fell on the earth.
All will be lost again
Until the next rebirth.
The cancer is growing,
Its host is slowly dying...

We are the seeds of disenchanted generations,
Withering, shrivelling, abandoned scions of Cain,
Nothing more than modern era sodomites
Potent in causing our own annihilation,

Usurper to the throne, mindless parasites,
Obsessed by environmental domination,
On the smoldering remains of our decayed nations
A recreated natural order shall rise again.

Trapped by its utopian ill-advised tolerance
Our society fell victim to the barbarians.
Cadmean victory of the humanitarians,
Confronting warmongering with altiloquence.

The peaceful took heed from the belligerent,
The educated gave voice to the illiterate,
The apathetic were emboldened to procreate,
While the others abide by this predicament...

Degeneration of our orgiastic mores,
Failure of the whole consumerist paradigm,
Institutionalized quashing of the queries,
Mediocrity worshipped, humanity in grime...
The ever growing turpitude of the gene pool
Will lead our decrepit nations to their demise,
Blinded by leniency we are quarries for the cruel,
Subverted from within by putrescence in disguise.
