The Epiphany

Living on this physical plane

That some would say has gone completely insane

An existence based upon minimizing pain

You will ask, “What have I to gain?”

Waiting for the eclipse on the surface of Mars

It beats wasting my time in singles bars

Guess I’ll gaze up into the stars

Love has left a trail of scars,

There’s not much left to believe in

Trying to establish the truth from a sin

You may have to notify next of kin

If they don’t find the singularity in the cosmic bin,

That day will come when man has been overrun

Because he felt playing with artificial intelligence was fun

The burden of guilt we carry weighs a ton

The epiphany that you’re one of the biggest fools under the sun,

Took a chemical train past fields of green

A mushroom shaped chemical gas cloud on the scene

Concerned for my life and all things in between

The contamination of all that seemed so serene,

Just a hollow echo of all those broken dreams

Don’t cry baby you’re coming apart at the seams

On this physical plain a life of extremes

The first arrival of the disaster response teams,

A spoiled princess who lacks respect

Becoming a victim just for effect

Madame your proposal was a bit incorrect

You’re now a person of interest-a new suspect.
