The Iridium Layer - Derelict

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
