Concept
When people were invented by Mother Nature,                                                                     
she came up with an added twist.                                                                                         
She thought it was funny.                                                                                                         
It wasn't.                                                                                                                                  
It was this:                                                                                                                                 
she made people argue, row, fall out and disagree.                                                               
The killer was brilliant;                                                                                                                   
it was over small things.                                                                                                      
For example: a man scratches his brother's bike.                                                               
Result, a big row;                                                                                                             
another is a girl smiling at her sister's partner for a second too long.                                 
Result, a big cat fight.                                                                                                                   
Big things like people losing their houses, jobs or lives resulted in less arguments. 
Mother Nature was a moo cow when she programmed this into us.                                          
Now who's got my frigging pen?                                                                                                            
When I find out who, there's going to be hell to pay.
