i
the half evolved
have only a mind
for crocodile tears
can't know the
simple machine
of my brain
can only
lie and claim i'm
more than my simian body
i am a tribal creature
with monkey needs
and our vast numbers
mean nothing to me
i am the architect of our steel world and conquered skies
electricity
medicine
holy wars and fratricide
i
the half evolved
see humanity
only in my tribe
my brain can't
no the cope of these
distant deaths
animal
defect strips me of
my pretensions
raise all your guns
look them in the eye
fire all at once
it's just some other tribe
i am a god
smiting the unworthy
i am a monkey
playing at god
