We'Re Evolving Backwards

we sit more than we walk 
we think less than we talk 

abandoning our evolution 
legs are something we're not using 

office blocks use finger tips 
we sit, we type use phones and lips 

eyes are used as we blindly consume 
unnatural light in every room

hunting's not something we do 
creating is for just a few 

bacteria that we can't see 
has changed our whole reality 

us human beings top the tree
the middle and the bottom we also be 

with germs always our company 
closing down each country 

we've never been to the floor of the seas 
and we don't know how to cure disease 

when we're young we are dependent 
growing old lose independence

with belief a narcissist holds 
we choose to think we are evolved

Agreed, long way to go, both to recover what we’ve lost and to regain a positive momentum forward. Your words are well chosen with an important message for those at the top of the tree.
