Opposable Thumbs

Takes the form of a human, but an animal lies beneath for what are we anyway escapologists from the caves and trees Maybe we’re special, intelligent, if still a little dumb Have we not outgrown our purpose to breed and thrive Humans need satisfaction, a journey, fantasies a thrill for which the animal beneath is willing to kill Contentment is to be under control, happiness is to be free adrenaline keeps us awake and alert My god they’re all chemical signals, highs and lows passion, depression, just imbalances of the mind The illusion we’re so much more is insane, yet true It’s forbidden to overtake evolution, but we did yesteryear exceeding the laws of nature, left the animals behind So what now, we’ve outgrown natural selection one small step was our threshold to the next forbidden quantum leap Perhaps you don’t see it coming, inexorable and inevitable as it is We’ll never stop, never be satiated we only ever had one goal to become god By David Kavanagh
