Zenith

“Culmination” by Nadia Minic

here we are

feeling ever

so modern

so civilized

still a mere

stone’s throw

in time

from the clans

of the cave

just a blink

of the eye

since the mind

moved from

under the pall

of dark ages

so pleased

with ourselves

with our highly

evolved sense

of progress

and purpose

so proud of

our human

creations of

cultured society

here where we

stand in our

warrior’s pose

at the zenith

still counting

the corpses

on which we

have climbed
