Self-Analysis

The animal part is the best in me
The human part isn’t the worst
But it’s of suspicious pedigree
Always strives to come out first
So I keep the human part on the leash
Which means I’m the cultural one
While the animal part looks out for its dish
The human part might have fun 
But as stated above, human isn’t the worst
The worst in me is the stone
It’s a solid fossil covered in moss
That never does anything wrong.
