A Civil Saving Strain (Free verse) by Enkidu
To put it as simple As humanly possible Blunt even The envelope has been pushed Shoved, strangled, crushed And erased from memory This is The last line Defense or no Our day has come And this is the last If only abrupt end All of the death The pain And this is the last One final strain Between that upmost line Is a curious circumstance For life Not for humanity Gone is the wind Alone And lo our brightest day Shining before eradication One day in circular time Has removed itself from history Forever a birth now withstanding None will change us more Than that civil right When upon our greatest defeat Mankind has impaled itself Only to be saved That impossibility A savior However regarded And we shall never know the truth

"To put it as humanly possible" needs at least two more words to start making sense.
