the world, which we created, moves too fastβ even for us.
we climb the ladder to fall and splatter.
technology zooms at the speed of light, and blurs with night.
what are we after?
evolution or electrocution of the human race?
give us space to taste the fleeting moments on the clock that we overwound.
