This System Is Killing Me
I am human
Most developed of
all life forms
But alas
Still flesh and
blood
As far as humans go
I'm even more
intelligent than
most
More loving than
most
But this system I
cannot transcend
This system is not
as intelligent as we
can be
A system based on
profit disease and
war
Is not as
intelligent as we
can be
This system is
killing me
Most intelligent
life form of the
most intelligent
species
This system is
killing me
This system is
killing me.
