Natural Selection

 

Apes come of age

Males equal to females

Hungry courtship in the jungle

Males compete for the few

Each one for himself

Who will be the chosen ones?

 

Fierce battles ensue

The weak ones lose,

Tired,

Wounded,

Surrender

Bow out

Banned from the troupe for all eternity

The strong ones survive

Dominate

Rule

The alpha males have exclusive mating privileges now

For their strong blood will ensure the continual of the species

For there were many males and just a handful were needed

 

What happens, I wonder

To the males who are weak

The helpless romantics who are banned from the troupe

What is to become of them, I wonder?

 

Those that still have their pride left will live a lie

Live alone

Rouge outcasts

Waiting

Hoping

Begging

For that one weaker moment,

That one chance to be accepted back in the troupe

But they will live lonely lives

Consumed by endless illusions,

Delusions

Dreams of a better life

A better world that only exists in the abyss

But the real world is a jungle

And survival for the fittest must apply

 

Oh gentle soul,

Love your fellow man,

Don’t fight him

 

Touch your fellow man,

Don’t chuck him

 

Live with your fellow man,

Don’t evict him

 

Let your guard down

 

Then you will realize,

That you are not alone in this giant jungle

You are not by yourself

The laws of nature must apply

That is why we are the way we are

 

We may not posses the privilege of reproducing to the next generation

But we do posses the blessing of sharing our love for all eternity

How could we not be free to love
