Here is the origin of the end

For every effort to repress

A monster hides within us all

No matter the age of progress

At the core, we are all animals

This is the set up before the fall

Our very existence dates to an explosion of Cambrian violence

Predator and prey arms race was our creator

An unbridled force of nature

Subjective judgement

The animal is neutral until cursed with conscience

Competitive requirement

Where the strong will survive

Evil is manifest only in intention

That was what we dared to override
