On Being Human

It is not the best time to be part of this
So overrated species. Someone ought
To make a disk to launch to interstellar
Space which shows how horrible we are.
The planet's been divided into shitty
Little entities, and all are ruled by shitty
Men, all egotists and crooks and killers.
What is worse is that these monsters
Are beloved in their lands. Oh, watch
The primates jump and slobber as their
Demagogues declare another band
Of primates evil. Wars ensue. That's
For the best, as this poor planet, burning
Up because the primates live by fire,
Kill what lives, even themselves. Encourage
Them to join the slaughter. Let the humans
End themselves, and let planet then
Be healed, the galaxy beyond it saved
From the overrated species, of which,
Sadly, I am part.
