Savage Beasts

We are not the savage beasts

Who live in tiny huts

We have gigantic houses

Stocked up with useless stuff

We are not the savage beasts

Who hunt and gather to eat

We have fancy pre made foods

Laced with Aspartame and MSG

We are not the cavemen

That chased large game off cliffs

We use machines that go nowhere

In order to stay fit

We are not the savage beasts

We don’t rely on community

We lock ourselves in daily

To enjoy central air and reality tv

We are not the savage beasts

Baring it all and swinging free

We cover with our color code

And shame those who need to pee

We are not the primitive tribes

Shaping and polishing rocks for knives

Our weapons come in all shapes and size

With hundreds of ways to kill

We are not the savage beasts

With paint on our face, no shoes on our feet

We’ve only the best in war technology

If we don’t protect ourselves, who will?

Resources may be limited, but we really don’t care

It’s ours for the taking, not ours for the share!

Earned our time off, now we must use it well

We don’t sleep in tents, just a big dumb hotel!

Eyes closed to your plight, as we stand tall

We don’t want your problems, so we’ll build a wall!

You’ve done us wrong, best be careful my son

Instead of understanding, we will carry more guns!

Eradicate a nation in the name of peace

When accomplished, we’ll throw a lavish feast!

See, we are nothing like those savage beasts!

But in a way, somehow, we still tend to be.
