The rise of casuality

Because we are the effects, not the primes

as in Primates,

we are moved,

as in affected.

Because we breed

maladies and machinations

we create

as in Creatures

more than was there before Us, 

as in BC (Blind Carbon).

We infer our differences 

in grand designs and poor planning

or preferences and likenesses

as reflections of self-expression

and omit the other view

to simplify.

Why do we need to know

Why

as though living without question

helps with this affliction of mortality

or enlightens eternity...

Shall we give up and let it go, as though

we influence more than our mind 

-do not answer that-

Instead, let's suppose 

the conclusion 

need only a new name 

or learned skill for our adaptable

immutable

Fin de siècle

or inability to sit

still...

We move On

and are moved ever more,

for even though in an odd way

the Word made it the first 

to day.
