Ossified

How wronged this mental state of earth,

rising from post-World War II like knead-pliable-dough,

to overcooked brick-hard loaves of brain matter,

causing undigested formulations in stuckedness

to plague one’s internal forward movement,

all while our planet spins on its axis,

its inner-core-heat aware of surface disruption,

even as outer-cosmic energy wrestles with

what to do with earth’s ossified-prone,

self-destructive leadership,

rapidly thrusting humanity toward fossilization

to be found by other forms of life

speeding through the universe,

perhaps making what was once earth,

their next rest stop.
