Men brag about possessions, gloat over what they have
jaguars do a victory jig upon a great ape's bloody hands
Men covet what they don't have, consumed by jealousy
white sharks harbor evil thoughts for all fish in the sea
Men wrestle for a balance, between the want and need
black widows before fanging force a fly upon its knees
Men kill for control, to garner more power if they must
grizzly bears begin to taunt just afore you bite the dust!
There's good and bad in one and all
Both men and womenfolk alike
A few go bad right from the start
Snared by the wicked human psyche
There's good and bad in everyone
All mortals made of blood and bone
A few stay good right to the end
Saved in the flesh by truth alone
The baby sees the tit, she eyes it as a treasure
as nothing's ever better, at filling her with pleasure
The toddler holds the toy, the trinket seizes power
he coddles it with wonderment, hour after hour
The grammar child seeks prizes, awarded and achieved
forgetting to be thankful, and never saying please
The high schoolers want kisses, are happy holding hands
don't care about tomorrow, and ignore their parent's plans
College kids covet success, set their goals to get ahead
but soon find life's not easy, then settle for less instead
Grownups push for power, wealth fills their empty space
abandoning all humanity, they betray the human race
Take stock of your life
The good and the bad
The highs and the lows
The luck that you had
Take stock of your life
The twists and the turns
The ups and the downs
The lessons you learned
Take stock of your life
The truths and the dares
The ebbs and the flows
The love that you shared
There is no place I'd rather be
Then right here with my younger twin
This is best place I have found
Of all the places I have been
There is no place I'd rather stay
Then right here with the ones who care
This is the best place I have lived
In places neither here nor there
There is no place I'd rather die
Then right here where I'm meant to be
This is the best place I have known
My place to grow old happily
My mind is filled with wolfish howls
Enraged as bloody hounds from hell
It wants to take me to that place
Where painlessness and comfort dwell
My mind is filled with foamy growls
Inflamed as rabid dogs gone mad
It wants to make me use again
Where any good left turns out bad
We all get our last moments
Final thoughts before we leave
Some die slow others quickly
All pass on without reprieve
We all have our last moments
Lagging thoughts soon departed
Some have more time than others
All end up where they started
I had the last moments we all get
the temporary time on the planet we all know we all have until we die
our death events seemingly so far away and impossibly nebulous
we don't even worry ourselves to think about them much
I never really enjoyed the last moments I got
most of my last moments felt worthless and meaningless
but then I found out the last moments of my last moments had arrived
all those last moments we get when we know our last moments are ending
and that's when I really started savoring my last, last moments
Greedy, gluttonous, out-of-touch
See the fat-cat despots gorging
Hoggish, immoral, out to lunch
See the evil they are forging
Ruthless, villainous, slash-and-burn
See the well-off tyrants snatching
Callous, atrocious, on the prowl
See the shell games they are hatching
Artful, dishonest, on the grift
See the two-faced hustlers drooling
Piggish, self-seeking, off the rails
See the farmland they are ruling
Evil is as evil does
Round and round and round it goes
Evilness is everywhere
Nicely wrapped in pretty bows
