The Mighty Fall and We'Re At the Top

Never an academic tragic at school I just didn't get it I learned bugger all But is a desk natural just look at a book a pen and some paper write what you took all that sitting down still not an evolutionary skill long grass in a field with teamwork to kill the fact is hunting is learning coordination and communication synced movement not disturbing alert, brave, unification the strong and the tall were the alpha mammal but now it's the book worm taking their turn we look to intelligence to guide us along it's now mental relevance over physically strong now the alpha's the clever they think up solutions we forget the athletic who enabled us humans we needed the torso the legs and the arms we needed the brain like we needed the palms now we need eyes brains fingers and tongues humans evolved to do less than they've done apex at the top but maybe that's your lot the mighty do fall when they slow down or stop

An optimistic poem. I wish it was " the book worm taking their turn" - it seems that lately, the bullies are winning. Sadly. I like your optimism though.

Hi Nick.. Thought provoking poem.... All the assets and attributes required today to 'succeed' in society becomes daunting at times..... I like the way you present the situation, slow, succinctly, strongly, fair.
