A circle.

Eternity circumscribed
for convenience
and location,
welcome to the world,
let me draw you a
diagram
of infinity.

Zoom in.

A person.

Prostrate yourself
for the world's examination,
the longing to absorb yourself
into their minds,
location-location-location.

Zoom out.

A people.

Hungry, feeding off
cliche survival of the fittest,
in a world where no one
is fit to survive,
imperfection striving for an
unattainable goal.

Zoom out.

Oblivion.

It started with this,
it will end with this.

Obliterate.
