Why be this sheep?
Haven't we evolved?
No, we are still this herd of sheep
Grazing, simply to be attacked by the wolf
Why be this pig?
Haven't we evolved?
No, we still bathe in these muds of money
Don't bother washing, for we will always be dirty
Why be this monkey?
Haven't we evolved?
No, we still copy with the rest
In this childish game of Monkey See Monkey Do
Why be this parrot?
Haven't we evolved?
No, we imitate the sayings of each other
Let a cracker be our reward!
Funny how high we are placed
In this animal kingdom
When its still us, who need to evolve
And be ourselves
