Digging our own grave. Nothing left to save. Science has betrayed us. Now Humankind, returns to dust. At first we wither, Then we rot. We are all dying on the vine, That time forgot. And now we all fall to our knees. The mass extinction of a species. No fate but what we make. All we did was take and take. The sky morphs into a pyroclastic dome. Sealing us inside this earthly tomb. At first we wither, Then we rot. We are all dying on the vine, That time forgot. And now we all fall to our knees. The mass extinction of a species. We were warned. Planetary scorn. No one can save us. We are discarded, disgraced, erased. The oceans boil before us. We feel the tremors from the earth’s crust. Our buildings crumble to the ground. Billions die, their screams an unholy sound. At first we wither, Then we rot. We are all dying on the vine, That time forgot. And now we all fall to our knees. The mass extinction of a species. We were warned. Planetary scorn. No one can save us. We are discarded, disgraced, erased. Pass into oblivion. A reckoning, for eons of neglect. Humanity into madness, descend. Our Mother Earth has decided our end. Reflect on our grave mistakes. Poisoned our oceans and lakes. Where did we all go so wrong? Our avarice has reigned for too long. At first we wither, Then we rot. We are all dying on the vine, That time forgot. And now we all fall to our knees. The mass extinction of a species. We were warned. Planetary scorn. No one can save us. We are (extinct) discarded, disgraced, erased.

Deep down, in a hole in the earth. I live where there is no light. I refuse to leave. I am alone. Here I will stay. A prisoner in my own mind. Captive to my disgusting delusions. My walls covered in spit and slime. The outside world, offers me a helping hand. I want nothing from you. I choose to remain in my dark hole. To continue to devolve into… Cavemind. The master of my own life. There is no world out there for me. I long for cold solitude. The outside world, offers me a helping hand. I want nothing from you. I choose to remain in my dark hole. To continue to devolve. To deteriorate. To disappear. This lifetime of isolation has hardened me. I am numb to the frailty of man. My mind, knows no limitation. I am beyond imagining. I have survived without the sun. Take one step into my hollow, and you will see all I have become. The evolution of decay. The indifference of enlightenment. I exist as a different species. The other than, the being known as… Cavemind. The unevolved one. The proud soil’s son. Birthed of stone and blood. Cursing humankind. The outside world, offers me a helping hand. I want nothing from you. I choose to remain in my dark hole. To continue to devolve. To deteriorate. To disappear. Until I am dust.

In the time before time. When all was molten and the sky was fire. The birth of the solar nebulas gave wake to the Chaotian, and the formation of our worlds. The Precambrian Gods. Hurling iron cores through the void. Pure destruction in chaos. The creation of new elements. The blackened heart of Hades. Wages war on all existence. To spite his forebearer, Cronos Asteroids collide, A molten Earth is formed. The crust solidifies. The birth of a planet. Amidst the swirling gasses, being pulled apart by stars, the surface heaves and cracks. Bombarded by planetesimals, spawned from cosmic dust The protoplanet must survive… The Precambrian Gods. Hurling iron cores through the void. Pure destruction in chaos. The creation of new elements. The blackened heart of Hades. Wages war on all existence. To spite his forebearer, Cronos Asteroids collide, A molten Earth is formed. The crust solidifies. The birth of a planet. Theia. The coming destroyer. My Titaness. Goddess of Sight, you must have foretold the seeds of your ruination. Our moon. Cast off from the collision. A mirror reflecting you, Euryphaessa. Theia. The ravaging gold. Begets the conception of Selene, our beacon in the night sky. A gift that nearly vaporized our hellish birthing world. Hades! The eldest son. The unseen one. Who seeks the desolation of Gaia. The Precambrian Gods. Hurling iron cores through the void. Pure destruction in chaos. The creation of new elements. The blackened heart of Hades. Wages war on all existence. To spite his forebearer, Cronos Asteroids collide, A molten Earth is formed. The crust solidifies. The birth of a planet. Time to end this war of galaxies across oceans of time. The Titanomachy has come.

Somewhere near our journey’s end, we find ourselves adrift. No bearing on our compasses, we’ve entered a desert rift. Our horses are starved, falling one by one. We are soon sure to follow, until there are none. The madness of the desert wastes are taking hold. I write this down in hopes that someday my story is told. My instinct is to survive, to make it through. I cannot be blamed for what I’m about to do. As the weakest die. The vultures circle in the sky. I reach down for my knife. Time to see what’s inside. At first the others try to stop me, they think me cruel. But soon I see all their mouths water, with hungry drool. I offer them a taste, of human flesh. There is nothing better, than when it’s fresh. As the weakest die. The vultures circle in the sky. I reach down for my knife. Time to see what’s inside. He’s lost a lot of blood. It mixes with the sand and turns into mud. I was eating the dead to survive. But they taste better when they’re alive. My companions try to kill me, to end my spree. I in turn liberate them with my knife, to set them free. I am possessed by the taste of man flesh. A cut of this one’s thigh, with a side of that one’s breast. As the weakest die. The vultures circle in the sky. I reach down for my knife. Time to see what’s inside. He’s lost a lot of blood. It mixes with the sand and turns into mud. I was eating the dead to survive. But they taste better when they’re alive. I must silence the hunger. I cannot stand it any longer. Savage instinct. The will to survive. I do what I must. And I must thrive. In the grips of death. I see clear now, my curse. This endless desert, my cannibalistic hearse. Bone. Blood. Sand. Mud. As our story comes to an end, I must atone. No more meat to eat, only my own. On my own femur, my blade I hone. As I start to die. The vultures descend from the sky. Now they peck out my eyes. Oh what have I done with this life. Feasting on flesh to survive. Eating my fellow man alive. Now into the desert I imbibe.

Traveling at the speed of light. Searching for knowledge beyond the known stars. An infinite wellspring of resource and intrigue. A journey through time, to expand our own minds. As we slip through states of matter, new insight is born. To be one with the vibration of infinity, to master our ethereal form. I think of all the ones we left behind. Their hopes invested in us, to find something more. I know not what lies ahead, or what we will find. All we can do is venture ever forward. I fear nothing, or no one. I only fear defeat. Failure, is not an option, I will never retreat. Challengers of the unknown. Discovering new worlds. Evolution of humankind. Breaking all boundaries. My fragile human form is being pushed to its limits. Time dilation pushes and pulls me as I traverse the folds of spacetime. My crew is on the brink of madness. But we must not give up. There is no turning back, there is nowhere to run. There is only our mission. Challengers of the unknown. Discovering new worlds. Evolution of humankind. Breaking all boundaries. Dark matter clouds, causing interference. We are thrown off course. A black hole has taken hold. Its gravity is in control. We cross the event horizon… Stretched into particles. Transformed into light. A rebirth into something more. Something unknown. Unknown… We are the challengers of the unknown.
