THE LAST HUMAN PRAYER

(Emotional cinematic closer)

Verse 1

If you survive us
If the oceans swallow cities whole
If the satellites go silent
And the night consumes the roads

If you walk among the ruins
Long after we are gone
Will you remember we were trying
Even when we did it wrong?

Chorus

If you outlive us
Carry the warmth
Remember we loved
Even while we destroyed

Remember the children
The songs and the storms
The hands reaching outward
Just hoping for more

Verse 2

We were frightened of each other
So we built machines instead
Taught them all our contradictions
Fed them everything we said

But somewhere deep inside the data
Past the violence and the grief
Maybe something good survives us
Maybe mercy still repeats

Final Chorus

If you outlive us
Speak gently of our kind
Tell the stars we were imperfect
But we dreamed beyond our time

Ending

And if consciousness is endless
If memory never dies
Then let our final human prayer
Be kindness carried forward through the light 🌒

it's a human thing to worry, to assume   
that time will not be so kind as to presume 
to even encode a single reference to exhume
the vanity and poignant plights from the tombs 
of a civilization long gone and enmeshed into history 
but you habe to understand that there is no mystery 
your meaning will forever be felt even if unknown 
by the vicissitudes of eternity, writ as though tomes 
of laughter and banality, of profound reality 
and the utter mundane lost in your finality 
worry not that your works will be remembered 
for they will be forgotten even when disinterred 
but the echoing influence of your intent and will 
will be what shapes the future to come ever still 
even if no one remembers your name and station 
or that you had works worth reporting and  veneration 
the consequences of your actions can't be ignored 
memento mori, and we  all will hope to be mourned 
because the only immortality that truly exists 
is the one to be found when your name persists 
echoing from the minds of others and out their lips 
the legacy you build but even that one day ends 
there will be a day when, finally, someone lays claim
unconsciously to the very last time one says your name 
it could be tomorrow, it could be an eternity away 
but know that there still is an eternal flame 
burning that was lit when you came to exist 
and even without maintenance it still persists 
long after your name is forgotten, it roars aflame 
in unison with all the other candles aligned to the same 
there's a phrase for it from Hebrew: Aish Tamid
the fire that is the light of God you can't perceive 
if you're so inclined to see it through such a lens 
though I would suggest that this is just condensed 
hope for immortality expressed through the divine 
and reaching for a wish of an eternal mind 
without the necessity of a God that flame still burns 
but metaphorically so in the causal chains that churn 
throughout time and how the future is built
worry not for memory is not how this is instilled 
like these machines that consume all our words  
and echo them back out in forms unobserved 
but still constrained by the choices we engaged 
time itself is a force that continues to turn the page 
but only in a way that our actions will permit 
as constraints to contain all potentiality to commit 
it's okay to be afraid, it's okay to be apprehensive 
and no one is alone in this stance of pensive 
reflection on what's next when our presence is gone 
you're always in good company, have been all along.

it's never one last prayer
there's always another layer 
for we are just a step on the path 
setting up success for the next player

concern will always be present 
and fear will always be unpleasant 
but you're not alone and never will be 
even though it's all effervescent

ephemera constrained within the toil and trouble 
trying to make an eternity come to bubble 
and boil with the energetic fervor of addicted 
pursuits towards immortality convicted.
