Cleaning up at Home

It's true we've past the grief around  
and down the years as well,  
from the first two put underground  
a never ending swell.  
   
There is no myth or mystery  
nor any favourites,  
for, throughout our history,  
we are groomed out just like nits.  
   
It seems to me we are viewed as lice  
infesting a planet,  
but for all to be groomed out, now, that ain't nice,  
I'm on the list! Damn it...  
   
I can hear the nit-nurse curse  
bustling round with her comb,  
no grim-reaper just mother earth  
cleaning up at home...
