We used to be much bigger than the lives we led
And now the lives we lead are the puppet masters
We used to be gods
Creators
Innovators
We were the masters of all that we could see and beyond
We were vast and powerful
We were everything and everything bow to us
Then we fell from heaven
We toppled out of our own brain,
Crashing towards our toes
On the ground
In the muck
Forgetting who we were
Forgetting what we were
The heights we reached were now out of our comprehension
It all faded away
We shrunk to half our size
As we had to turn to more trivial things
Like breathing
Eating
Drinking
All things for lesser lifeforms than we were
But we forgot
And we haven’t remembered where we came from
We’ll never reach the Olympus we built
Never again
We lost it all
And why, did we fall?
So long ago
The amount of time that has passed would be nothing more than a blink in our former glory
We fell because we climbed so high
We reached the peak
And there as nothing on the other face
The mountain side we had built up was one sided
There were no safety rails
And we failed
When we fell, our wings burned in the atmosphere
Our minds crumbling on impact
incomprehensible to the local elements
Not meant for the primitive earth
Where the atmosphere conceals the greater outer space
Making us forget of the greater heights
The sharper dangers
Turning our eyes downwards to our hands, our tasks, the people around us
Making us forget
We’ll never remember
