Such a simple thing
Shrouded in complexity
Lives the Great Filter
Hypothesis fails
Existential Risk is now
Pulsing within us
No plan averts it
No outside force can compete
Why would it need to
Systemic failure
Progress is found within us
Waiting in locked rooms
To overcome risk
Pick biological lock
Overcome oneself
To talk of all else
Such cerebral distraction
Grand Filter working
Asteroids pass us
The universe testifies
All its grand silence
Answers lie within
Shrouded by speculations
Perfect camouflage
