This System Is Killing Me

I am human Most developed of all life forms But alas Still flesh and blood As far as humans go I'm even more intelligent than most More loving than most But this system I cannot transcend This system is not as intelligent as we can be A system based on profit disease and war Is not as intelligent as we can be This system is killing me Most intelligent life form of the most intelligent species This system is killing me This system is killing me.
