The Mystery of Man

What made the human race
so different from the rest,
were we just a branch of ape
that happened to come out best,
why did our brains grow bigger
while others did not change,
did evolution favour man
I find this very strange,
and why did we walk upright
does anybody know,
when logically it made us weak
and also made us slow,
I think the reason earth is ruled
by this human breed,
is not because of brain power
but violence and greed.
