Figuratively Speaking

Figuratively speaking,
We have evolved into
an era
Where we are nothing
but abstract
objects de art
Mummified and embalmed
fatalistic and bizarre

We have
but have not
As we are not.
Merely transmundane
figures
from a world beyond
Enigmatic
Sceptical.
Mozzled
The unfortunate survivors
in a tentative land.
