Dumb Animals
In the midst of all the turmoil in the world
A simple reconnect with the past
Can make the crap that we constantly hear
Seems so unimportant real fast
So unimportant in the overall scheme
The only thing that matters is love
With everything else we're forced to endure
Love's bigger than all else above
Love of nature where creatures abound
We're just part of the overall scene
Soon we'll realize as intelligent as we are
Must be missing a certain gene
A gene these so called dumb animals possess
Which allows them to coexist
There's a lot these dumb animals can teach us
Wouldn't that be a crazy twist
So I ask you, who are the real dumb animals
It's us, it's definitely us humans
Maybe some day in the future we'll all smarten up
And be more than intelligent cavemen
