No. 80: This Life, 2007

What is this life ?
And what are we?

I truly feel ashamed of what we are
This species , this genus that we are

Lets face it we are intelligent
Nobody doubts

This is made evident by our numbers alone
And how we are gifted

We have the brain to adapt to our environment
And survive regardless of larger beasts

Who although more physically powerful
Have gradually dwindled in population

Still I am ashamed and not proud of being me
Or you , have you ever thought about it?

Okay we have colonised the planet
we live all over the world

In rural areas and all the major cities
Yet where ever we go we do leave filth

I don't really believe we are responsible
For destroying this planet

But we have made a difference
We are not making the place any cleaner

And although we do manage to survive
Or even over populate yet still

We have our fair share of disease
And yes we can kill all right when we need to

Lets face it to be honest we are vile
But it could be worse ; we're not human

(Rattus Rattus ).

No. 81: The Bull, 2007

There was a young man from Kabul
Who tried to make love to a bull

He sat on its spike
It went for a hike

And the bleeder fell off like a fool .
