Evolve

The barrier between here and there
is like an insurmountable wall that all others
begin to look at with utter terror and absolute fear,
but not you and I.

We are the ones that evolve from the dust
that settles on their head like the aging gray hairs
that will eventually replace it as they remain in this place
far after you and I are gone.

We are the ones that surpass this pack of mindless
drones as they drone on day after dreary, long, weary day
in their same old routine that never seems to bother them
but makes you and I weep with despair.

We are the ones that want to revolutionize this institutionalized
city we find ourselves currently trapped in behind these jail-cells
of brick prisons that we go to for so long every damn day just to see
that you and I do not belong.

We are evolving from this provincial little world that seems so vast
to the young and ignorant people who remain young and ignorant
even to their deathbeds because they fear what the world can hold
beyond their little homes, but not you and I.

We are leaving this place behind. We are evolving from this time.
Darwin may have been an utter genius and a fool all the same
but he was right about one thing on that controversial theory of his:
We do adapt to our environments, or else you and I move.

We are not meant for this place, for this tar pit of a world that traps
and taunts and bogs them down into their quiet lives that should not
be shaken by their planted feet so that the dust may fall off of them,
but you and I are meant for this world, do believe me that!

You and are bigger than this small space we call life
Because this small space is merely a fraction of the life
we could live beyond the borders of this city of sin and hellfire
and damnation to all but you and I.

You and I will break free.
We. Will. Evolve.
