The Human Shame

Is it not "fear" nor "fear itself" that looms
in the darkness of our once bright future
judging us as a gift once given but now,
...now it closes the gift box for the burial

"Here lies humanity, failed to live up...
live up to their hopes and expectations.
"

The shame we've brought to the beauty
we once smugly called "LIFE”…
