simply overrated
 |  by tumbling tiger  |  poems

we are all so overrated
simple beings walkin earth.
the bad things we do will ruin it all. destroy the world.
now how pathetic can we be?

was rexs death his fault?
he might have been the biggest badass hunter on earth.
yet he’s dead.
farting ruined his atmosphere?

or how else did those huge fellas
cause their cosmic misfortune,
walking through the world and one day
bang. you have been extinct.
come again in a few billion years. or maybe
never.

time to change the stage,
and let the humans play.
talkin, prayin, beggin,
to the lords to not make us disappear like all the others before us.
the sissy’s of evolution, whinin and bitchin,
havin to many minds to waste.

we are, simple, maybe even a bit retarded, standing and wading,
having the power to fear imagination.
bad things we create, stuff we should not make,
and yet were are simple pawns in a game called
life.

one small, for us big change,
and it’s all about to turn,
back from the green round globe
to a scorching burning ball.
just waiting to let our farting resources return.
fossil energy problems solved, we simply need more dinosaurs
to rot beneath our feet.

sure, we are too wasteful,
and stupid when we act,
yet doing good, can be the most evil thing
we do.

living life, as simple as it sounds,
is the only thing to do.
yet we are not alone, million species extincted before us,
let’s ask them how they failed.
