"It doesnt think, it doesnt feel, it doesn laugh or cry

One of my favorite pieces I wrote awhile ago while in a terrible mood. Enjoy.
WARNING: Not for the squeamish
Life continued as it always had. Feeble apes going about our days. Living in our luxury boxes; paper ceilings, padded floors. Toiling away to earn bits of paper and metal to trade for other's ideas. Raping the very womb we were spawned from to no foreseeable end.
It happened in a fortnight.
They came from out of the corner of your eye, through the glazed wall of heat off blacktop, through the fog of a fever, from the imagined spheres behind your eyelids. The portals opened in reality like so many menstruating uteruses, ensanguining us with refuse. These beings spread across the land leaving filth and disease in their wake. This was not an invasion, merely a migration of excrement. They left as quickly as they came.
The cosmos had left us coated in a thick viral ejaculate.
Those still alive enough to, were left in a daze. No one really could understand what had happened, except that a trail of all encompassing leprosy had rended it's way through us. Though these faceless plague bringers moved on with haste, those afflicted with their bane did not. The death throes of the pus riddled went on for weeks...months...years. What they had rout upon us was so varied and unique, no one treatment was all encompassing. Death was not feared, it was welcomed with opened arms.
Billions rotted in our vehicular arteries.
As if turning our physical form against us wasnt enough, our spirit was crushed under the weight of Nature's passover. Not one other organism was affected by this neo-black death. Not the acres of future paper, nor the soon-to-be plastic packaged raw muscle. We raged at the realization. Raged at nature, raged at each other, simply raged. Our Gods commanded us to cleanse, our leaders commanded us to fight, our instincts commanded us to kill. The spiral of suffering traveled ever downward towards oblivion.
As humanity gasped it's last breath, we looked towards the stars and suddenly saw for the first time. What little mind was left un-atrophied truly awakened. But it mattered little that we had finally moved forward as a sentient race, for as we finally understood ourselves and our place in the universe, we died. Our last exhaled breath choked back by blood and pus. A fitting end for one such as we.

Oh wow. That was a good read.
Indeed this really speaks out to the damage we as human beings are doing to this planet. Nature is trying to wipe us out too in a sense, through those earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes. Of course, these natural disasters won't really have too much of an effect if we hadn't gone around building cities, multiplying uncontrollably, and taking control over all the other living things in this world, all in the name of those "bits of paper and metal".
I will be saving a copy of this on my HD.

Wow, rings quite true, doesn't it? I found it a tad impersonal, but the cynicism and writing style more than makes up for it. In short, it's a nice, dark piece to read, though I wouldn't say it would make squeamish people run in horror. Keep posting stuff as good as this, please?

You could've made it some stupid super-virus, but for me at least (I may be over-analyzing) Leprosy showed a tangible thought of disgust, and it drove the point home for me. Thanks for a good read
