Animal House

Perhaps Maybe It just might be Time to consider The possibility Of handing over The planet To the animals I mean realistically They could no worse than we have done At least we know they would live in harmony with nature Instead of trying to force it to their will They wouldn’t be arrogant Or petty, bitter or greedy Or disloyal or betray each other Or kill for no reason or torture each other Or go to war Or rape each other Or lie to each other Do I need to keep going? Really there’s no argument here The decision is quite clear We need to simply Step aside my dear There’s nothing to fear Our ugliness is reflected in the worlds mirror We are not what we appear Just fallen from grace At an accelerated pace Our arrogance is a slap In our creator’s face More ashamed I could not be Of how we act to the one Who gave life to me It’s simply the reality Of our frivolity Eric (and sometimes not)
