Man the supreme Animal

Have you ever sat and wondered who gave man power over all?

Have you ever watched and thought man will cause it all to fall?

And if you sit in wonderment and fail to see my view

We have so little in common and Ill say goodbye to you.

 

The people of Hiroshima, when they realized their loss

In the name of new technology, were told to bear their cross

When our starving brothers begged with outstretched scrawny hands

Food began to mount and pile in other richer lands

The human life thats taken, without a struggle or a fight

Is condoned because abortion is a mothers given right

 

The ones that fight for justice are quickly locked in slime

Tortured by the oppressor, a punishment for their crime

 

When I see our battered children, so innocent and small

Its then I really wonder,  who gave man power over all?

If you want to hear a lesser side, Ive plenty as you'l find

For mans intolerance and violence, to man is not confined

 

Man have caused the bulging eyes of a fox held in despair

as its body is slowly severed, by a cruel and ugly snare.

The sight of badger bating, has brought to many glee

Blinded by their takings, the suffering they cant see.

walking through our countryside, could cause your heart to shudder

At the sight of a baby rabbit with a meximatosis mother

 

If our graceful otter in his water bed is found,

they will hunt him to exhaustion, on his skin they see a £

On the hare with all its beauty, man will place a hearty bet,

before its torn apart, and left to die an agonizing death.

 

Our biggest shame, the ***** redcoats, on their bugles loudly hail,

They sleep with easy conscience, their prize, his bushy tail.

A bird of the wild is quiet common to find,

imprisoned to sooth mans warped and twisted mind.

To test our beauty products, animals live in pain,

although synthetic fibers if used would do the same.

 

I find it so disgusting, unnecessary and cruel

that animals go on suffering to improve the ugliness of the fool.

Take your beauty products and put them in the bin

and be assured young ladies, that beauty is within.

I could go on forever of the wrongs that man has done

I hope by now you realize its all for greed or fun.

 

When the book of mans achievements, is finally unveiled

The one that gave such power to man

Will see that man has failed!
