To be human, Is to rule the earth That’s the tale, sent down from gods Don’t you see the laws of nature are for birds and bees Surely you can’t say they apply to me. I am human The world was made for us alone But still I work harder than my ancestors before. But how else will humanity grow? And maybe we cut down too many trees And it may be a little harder to breath But I must make room I have a growing family. And now there’s famine but we can make more food. Some wild life may die but humans must keep going. Now there is a new decease Millions are dying quickly we must find a cure We are not animals We are humans Why compete when you can wage war? Screw nature The powers gave us this earth Damn it, it’s ours See we are doing fine Ruling the world There’s billions of people yet we continue to grow And two world wars one on the way We are almost as gods We can think We can say But then again... Humans do seem to be on the brink maybe this is just a myth. The world is not just ours And we are not smarter than gods. Perhaps we are living wrong? |

Whew your reading my mind, two fold today and heck, we don't even know each other this was awesome... thank you for writing and Welcome to PIP with such a grand entrance! Painfully darkened stairs Reached down into the pit of my being Giving up life for drive by shootings Of lobbyists on the roof of privilege Arm in arm with news media And images they use to cross our yards or cut out the hearts of conversation Sensationalize they're right or left wing fables Is this really American’s war on Terror Or fat old men, sending our boys to perish At the hands of Bin Laudin? Al-Qaeda doesn’t live in Iraq Neither does Bin Lauden Clandestine the hump on this monkey's back One party defending the lies of their registrations it's time we the people mean something and are worked for instead of doing the bidding of special party interests... Oh the lies that walk the floor You Go Clinton...even though at the time I didn't like what you were doing Little did I know you had done more then you were given credit for and perhaps that is why they took your mistake and blew it right outa the water? I'm certain that at the end of this term far more mud will be slung and learned |
