[ NaPo 2017 ] [ SciFi & Fantasy ] Days Of Earth Past
We were here first
long before the asteroids
rained down upon this sphere
[ then known as Gravitron ]
in a hail of geological precursors
biological marker embedded
from which your race eventually
emerged
The Makers saw it necessary
to annihilate our civilization
with its flawed designs and
propensity for destruction;
restart the Great Existence anew
with more fragile constructs
such as yourselves that
could register "pain"
When other members of my kind
who escaped being pulverized
into "metal scrap" by taking refuge
in the outer spherical chambers
are accidentally released from their tombs
during your extractions of fossil fuels
they will marvel over the delicate
creature that is the Human Being
living in buildings ripe for demolition
and you will know "pain"
