that’s why so many were watching, waiting, hoping.
praying that we would not fuck this up
peoples from across the multitude of universes were watching to see the outcome of our struggle
as we could not have known, we were both the front line and the last.
there were none of either of us left.
we had killed almost all of them.
they killed a staggeringly horrifying amount of us.
we had been the product of countless eons of thought, design, and experiments
yes, we were genetically modified
so we didn’t become a plant or a fruit fly.
we had some of their code, too.
so, in the end, their greatest thought crime against us, as Earthicans,
was that they set us in a dichotomy of extremes –
black and white, up and down;
then turned us in the wrong direction.
against each other, against ourselves.
looking outward when we should have been looking in,
telling us what was good and evil and reversing them.
