Irrevocably aware of the passage of time

[cameraman23]

I, too, have seen the best minds of my generation
Wasted. But I cannot mourn
The progress of science
Reducing to absurd numbers
Pixelated persons, fated vectors
The argument for determination
Gets stronger and the divine diminished,
So well-defined as accidental inevitablility.
Our knowledge base within this
Seemingly infallible paradigm growing
Not quite as fast as the population.
Not only destroying the planet in some
Small tragedy but diminishing the importance
Of any one man or woman.
Our new-found equality has confused our sex
Our new-found temperance has confused our sex
And our drugs. (results pending on rock and roll)
Better living through chemicals
(is it okay to feel better from taking medicine?)
Has confused our humanity and
Our humanity presses us to create, pro-create
A generation better off than ours
As we are better off than those before
Better living through discontent
(it is our nature to be discontent)
But the teleological approach fails
In the eyes of time
We are all not even mites,
Bound to a finite expanse
In the context of eternity
A finite number divided by infinity
Is so close to zero that it is.
