An old one of mine I found. Changed the name from 'edge' to shore. Think that would have been more fitting. Plus did some change in punctuation.
On the shore of infinite sadness
We are apes returned home;
face to face with a greater power
expressed in crashing foam
from whence mankind did flower.
Arriving at a sea of realization
that this force does not care
'bout it's awe-strikken creation
nor speaks of just and unfair.
Here we stand naked and dry
on the shore of infinite sadness:
on uncertain sands, eye to eye
with waves of chaotic madness.
And we roar mad with laughter,
fueled by an insanity from within,
given to us by the blind disaster
that spawned us and our kin.
For this is a time of low tide,
allowing us to build on our bay
'till no secrets are left to hide.
Here we are and here we stay.
