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 be 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

Well, what might George Orwell, author of 'Animal Farm,' think? Nature tends to abhor a vacuum. Then again, just maybe it might work. Thanks for the food for thought, Eric.

Great book, and agreed nature always takes back what is hers. I am simply saying we should give it back. Once again thank you for the comments, I do enjoy hearing other viewpoints.
