Who’s The Chimp?

 
Humanity holds itself in high regard
The most important creature around
The ultimate in animal kind’s evolution
The class A, number 1, primate mammal
We assume that we’re so much better
We claim victory and superiority
There is a multitude of reasons we give
We walk upright, we’re self conscious
We create Art, music, creative writing,
Language, medicine, micro technology
Inventiveness, morality, ethics, science
We invent weapons that kill and maim
We invent religions that hate and slaughter,
We rape, we torture, we murder and kill,
We explode atomic bombs, we make war,
We invade, we destroy, like pirates we plunder,
We destroy the environment, shitting on our
Own doorstep. We hate without reason,
We fuck others over just for a percentage
We boast about the good, ignoring the evil
Annually we kill millions by simply not caring
Dirty water, famine and starvation despite
The fact that we have preventative resources
We stand back watching genocide unless
There is oil or other scarce resources
Despots and dictators are plentiful
Love, hope, and charity are rarely seen
The negatives outweigh the positives
Truth be told we behave worse than animals
We refer to ourselves as civilised people
But we’re not; we are all capable of evil
Nobody really cares actively enough
The mentality is better them than me
The world is going to hell in a handcart
And we have all become spectators
Watching the Greek Tragedy that is humanity
It is the planets salvation that one day
It will earmark mankind for extinction
There is no god to save us, not one
The planet will save and cleanse itself
And mankind will be just a memory
Thinking about that makes me smile
The chimpanzee is my brother
And he is more civilised than me
