Crawling through a jungle of concrete
Custom fit suit, walking on two legs
Shiny leather shoes cover his feet
This animal is human - or so they would say
Head held high he scuffles along the walk
Sign reads "NO JOB, HELP PLEASE"
Greedy eyes see the beggar but still he will not stop
No guilt or remorse just here to survive
Lying, stealing, killing-
It doesn't matter what you do as long as your alive
His words are venom, full of deceit
No claws but he is ready to rip you up
He'll shake your hand when you meet
Inside us all there is a choice
Between good and a hungry beast
Deep within listening to a voice
Where good is greater but chosen least
Being human isn't just being able to think
We are something more than that as a whole
It's more of a feeling than an instinct
That separates us- a human from an animal
after the third line, i thought "Teeth like gods shoeshine"
ReplyDeletebut then you went an entire different way from what i was thinking, good job.
