Veins flowing with golden ichor Fueled electric mouths only bicker God could not expect to see Specks unique in infinity Caught the cosmos in their eyes Spun their world with delicate lies Gifted with an evolving mind Brought by atoms mating blind Among themselves bitter fights Denied once all supposed rights Entire beings all same under sun Never count as another one Capable of astounding love Potential good fits like a glove Briefest instant time and space Finish line of a human race
