Behold!!

The Wanderer

Traveling the stars

Both near and far

What does it know

It’s just a brain in a jar

Come to inspect our world

What hurled us down this path

Our hubris

Our love of trash

Why would we bathe in ash

Why would we destroy our home

Is it too much or too little love for ourselves

Killing ourselves for the ephemera on the shelves

Perhaps if we delved deeper

We could learn from this seeker

And make our world a little less bleak
