The Human Kind

During some time in life, the caged animal is set free Taking on the world so aggressively No longer at the parent's beckon call They no longer are staring at their bedroom walls They take flight and start living their own lives As they grow, from their backs they will have to remove some knives Where is the compassion, a lack of it these days Some become homebodies, others become strays Strays should be neutered or spayed Self preservation is a natural instinct Life is so precious, can pass by in a blink Life should be held in high regard and respect The worst animal is human in many aspects Kindness to others comes in slivers By far the takers outnumber the givers They say that we are all coming to the end of our time The hints of it are evident, I guess there has to be more dramatic signs We are of course talking about the human kind
