Belligerent Beasts
To me at least
It’s become clear
We are the animals
The ones to fear
It’s the wildlife
That’s civilized my dear
They are the ones
That deserve the chance
Its simply survival
That they romance
We on the other hand
Have been given to much
We live in arrogance
And are out of touch
Were to fat and complacent
And merely adjacent
To the mundane of days
With nothing to do
With nothing new
Waiting for drama
Created by the few
To help get us through
To the next something new
It’s a boring existence
With little incentive
To offer resistance
This is why I believe
That we should give up
And give it all back
To the “lower” forms of life
Who know not of hatred, greed, or strife
Who are ignorant in deceit, racism or vanity
Who simply coexist with nature
In logical sanity
Who just live for the day they are in
Who are free from the chains of sin
Who look at us
With confusion and disgust
It is with this wish
That our sacrifice is a must
That we return to the dust
And extinguish our lust
Of the vile carcass
In which we rust
You know deep down
I am right
It’s ok to agree
It just means
You have the sight to see
And understand the plan
Of the eventual
And reasonable
Departure of man
A once great creature
Now a laughable feature
Of an idea gone mad
Of the clueless and sad
A bi pedal fad
You should glad
To rid us of the earth
Allow it to heal
And conduct its rebirth
Celebrate this simple solution
To rid the planet of human pollution
A most beautiful step
In our evolution
