[ 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"
