Save Humankind From Human Madness

Sometimes with neither rhyme nor reason We chew insanity and regurgitate vanity Ensnaring our souls in a pesky prison Where we trap humanity in an insidious inanity With a passion so overwhelming We galumph in an empty triumph From which we emerge screaming and squirming When horrors and terrors galumph Daring us to shout a victory we haven't won Tame tails between our legs Our pride and self esteem undone When the goose that once produced golden eggs Rebels Demanding payment for the air we breathe In soporific cells Where our emotions seethe Despite shrinking in span Their wings clipped Their bloodshot eyes wan With sleep ripped Apart by angels of morals Who campaign for reform In the way we treat ruminants, rodents and squirrels Stealing space from the home Where with no iota of shame we encroach to build siren shaped skyscrapers Cajoling our delight As our latest ecosystem scandals hit headlines in newspapers In which we explore and expose the blight our puny fight To survive Hounded and hunted down by horrors unleashed from dented laboratories Where our survival guaranteed we drive Manufacturing biological weapons of mass destruction in our demented factories.
