Why?
Why so much?
It’s everywhere.
Why?
Our literature.
Our movies.
Our music.
Our art.
Everything.
Human civilization,
tightly woven  
with
*** and violence.
Wars are fought,
careers destroyed,
because of
*** and violence.
Instincts run deep.
Humanity
held ransom
by
*** and violence.
Common senses
logic
cannot
withstand!
Human passions
heated
crush logic
destroy  thoughtfulness.
Why?
Animals.
We are  animals.
We have
instincts,
like all the rest,
genetically programmed.
Procreation!
Self preservation!
Etched
into our
very being.
Cannot ignore.
Impossible to Ignore.
The strongest
in all  animals.
Humans,
no different.
How
will it change
when the machines  
arrive?
What would
machine civilization
look like when
instincts
are  no more?
Time will tell!
They  are coming.
