Elegy to the Ancestors

We do not know

At what time

Humanity looked up

And said, “Fuck this.”

They looked all around

At the ruin they found

All because some damn gods

Were in charge.

Some great fucking thing,

With a soul that would sing

Would live on with their sanity

And no fear?

It’s not fair, humans thought.

What am I, if not also alive?

Even if I am dead, I am here.

Can’t I live?

The silence went on.

The care did not come.

The glory, the freedom,

The right to a grave.

Humanity waited.

The gods did not listen.

But hid themselves

further away.

Humanity looked around,

Found something sharp,

and started to walk
