The Humans That Have Gone Wrong

There must be a whole slew of us now,
the humans that have gone wrong,
our brains take advantage of us,
while the “lower animals”
exist flawlessly
we take our gifts of language
mathematics and
communication
and proceed to
live a life of misery,
victims of knowing too much,
seeing too much
in every situation.
In many ways,
the average
blue-collar-working-joe-stiff
has more of that
flawless animal element
so impossible for
us
to maintain,
yet we think ourselves above them
when we
are the humans that have gone wrong.
