Our only planet and look what we have done
Litter, from such critters, known as us
How dare we ruin our one and only home
Caked in plastic, detergent and animals so rare we only have bones
What have we become
This can only be summed up in one
People are one thing and one thing only
Savages
Utter savages
I will state it again
How dare we,

People are savages

JJB
“We human beings regard ourselves as (or compare ourselves to) animals only when it suits us.” ― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Any man who neglects his conscience is a dangerous animal.” ― Suzy Kassem

“There is an undercurrent of savagery in the human psyche. Anyone who forgets this and doesn’t guard against it, risks being swept away by it.”
― Lance Conrad, The Price of Nobility
