Archeopteryx - Lecherous Nocturne

Predisposed to wither away

Pallid squalor of this host

Gathering for a feast of talons

Sedimentary allusions of

Devolving generation strain

Fossilizing sentient decay

Generates archaic display

Transitory hybrid revealed to the light

Fractured phylogenetic intent of taking to flight

Paragon’s elation gone

Frozen death mask’s agonized resolve

Once engendered virtue fading

Cease and desist

Already turned to stone

Impartial minds cannot survive this storm

Of stone from which our broken bones are torn

Panacea out of reach

Affectation twisted wings

Calcifying slowly

Having rejected the Bodhisattva

Candor’s replaced by a hatred that takes to the skies

Avian construction to ascend

But can’t deny the features that

Condemn our savage reptilian soul

That’s already turned to stone

Impartial minds cannot survive this storm

Of stone from which our broken bones are torn

An existential acolyte is born

An archaeopteryx has taken form

Arthritic contorting icons

Analyzed by future races

Sedimentary allusions of

Devolving generation strain

Predisposed to wither away

Superseded by those who have not decayed
