The Alpha Breed

Believing, proclaiming, wearing the crown - pinnacle of creation
It fatalistic assumption human kind has made
On the planet that is so wrongly called 'earth'
The initial and original keepers of this world still
prosper freely among humans - subtly manipulating proceedings
The feeble 5 senses that humans possess,
keep them veiled What mankind cannot see is ignored
Yet their presence cannot he denied
The keepers work is methodical a
simple task for immortals of this type
Reasoning for their labour cannot be explained in human tongue
Or understood by misleading simplistic emotions
The diluted answer being 'humanity was unintentional.
In an age, long forgotten, the trials began
Proud doesn't describe what the keepers felt, 'Man' and 'Woman'
Vessels were entered by willing volunteers
Yet something instantly was wrong -
inside the vessel they became trapped
Becoming one with the body not just a passenger
Flawed in design; irreversible consequences
Comprehension of the error bringing inexpressible grief
Confined to their new prisons - the tainted two
expelled and ostracized Primitive actions for an evolved kind
Symbols of failure to be forgotten
Unrestricted by the human physical form
But bound by a timeless code
They unemotionally await a natural
end to their trial - the 'human race:
They created, but cannot destroy - science their god
Thus research is holy
Before work can begin again on the unforgotten
perpetual quest there must be closure to their greatest failure
In theft 'eyes':
The human body was intended
Designed and created as a vessel:
A primitive get resilient shell to
carry the keepers through folds in time
A simple organic data storage tool with a finite duration
Existence: as it is known by man was not intended
Using knowledge of vessel duplication
The tainted sought retribution to create a race of a failed breed
Shaming the keepers for millennia
Forced to watch the tainted become a plaque.
Capable yet powerless to cleanse the earth directly
Loopholes revealed in the ancient code as time progresses
The manipulation begins.
Mankind accepts destructive common events
Diseases, war, disasters are all experiments in progress
The keepers refining their means of cleansing the earth
While a blindly expanding civilization await their eviction
