We evolve and go mad
Destroy the time and loose the lesson
We believe we will survive
We are superior
We are indestructable
We are blind
Today, we live the end

The ending line is a bit hard for me to grasp.  I took it to mean, "today we live the end" of evolution, which means that we are as advanced as we will ever become.  So today, we live in the end of advancement.

I disagree with this, if it truly is the message of the poem.  There is so much more evolution to be done in our society, we have yet to master physics, metaphysics, and such things.

We've barely scratched the surface of the end.  There's so much out there that once we conquer the physical world, we're only halfway done.

I took it to mean that it was the end of believing we are superior, indestructible. However, I could very well be wrong...

I agree with Kielo... although, what we think is probably way off base, eh?

I read this as being war- or something. I'm going to have to come back to it later.

Are you scared? BOO! Are you now?
