Monuments to Avarice

Shuttered
(All left to fade)
In bleakness
(Putrid odors)
Manmade
(Rising filth)
Excrement
(Respite to sink)
Ungently
(Moribund thought)
Censored
(None hear the screams)
It’s come
(To a final halt)
To shadows
(Take them in)

Sailing into mass extinction
Extinguishing this anguish

The human delusion of grandeur
Crumbles unto the Earth
The false exception, bathing in offal

Avarice, parsimony
Rapacity, voracity
Gluttony, cupidity, stupidity

Zenith abatement
Our vehemence will be our death

Fallen, lowly, unworthy
