The Human Race

At some point, the human race collectively decided The unnecessary confrontation was an essential part of existence And another we concluded That the difficult child was the one who didn't listen Out of some fear That such a kid might grow up to be a thief or a nutter Prey became easy so we preyed on each other Civilisation becomes a façade of rule makers and rule followers A front to tuck away the animal and the killer and the soldier And we choose to turn men into slugs And abandon some instinct But ignore the possibility of a woman who thinks The Homo Sapien stands as an evolutionary masterpiece As it ravages and bites with a pen and a paper sheet Now it sniggers and slobs with a laptop and keys Before it indulges in hair products and television screens The hunter packs a belly over tight jeans The hunter goes from buffalo to spiking girls in parties The human race designed morality as a means to run its course And designated decision making therefore To a group of greedy bastards Who relish from the matrix of less and more We make the gravest of decisions when we're never really sure
