We Are Legion, We are Locusts.

the world becomes
and we devolve.
cultures melt together
and in unity, disappear.
we are legion.
we are locusts.
we consume.
we conquer.
we bury ourselves to the neck
in loose dirt and ash
then bathe in the rivers of time
and complain.
we choke on our own sentences
because we cant even swallow 
our own lies.
we head, headlong, into nowhere
angrily asking "when will get there?"
speed is the new drug
and condensing time is the new high.
we can never be fast enough
because we have obliterated the concept
of enough.
we can never be sated.
we can never be hushed.
and we can never be
defined because we can
never be understood.
