Like a crushing stone Ripples the surface Of a silent water pond
Like burning flames Caress the skin Of those who spend eternity In their own imaginary hell
Like roses perish And perpetually fall From time in constant motion
Man always forgets, That it is governed and separated, By the same axioms that separate the weak form the strong
The capable from the incompetent The ingenious from the dumb The brilliant from the foolish
This certitude never dies This certitude never beckons But forever lives on
That is the law of Nature Everything lives by this rule and dies by this rule Mankind is no exception The only exception is that Mankind believes to be beyond this rule of natural selection And which ultimately will lead to mankind's inevitable self-destruction
Like blood streams From an open wrist Of the resolute and suicidal
Like gleaming stars Twinkle at dusk To silently dim and forever expire
Like rain falls From a clouded sky Ending the drought and the thirst below
Man always forgets That it is governed and separated By the same axioms that separate the weak form the strong
The capable from the incompetent The ingenious from the dumb The brilliant from the foolish
This certitude never dies This certitude never beckons But forever lives on
