POEM - The Eviling

THE EVILING

What makes humans evil?
Are there ape or monkey psychopaths?
Have we evolved into some devil?
What led us down the sordid path?

Is there any animal that just snaps?
And starts murdering the pack?
Why do our big brains have this lapse?
Is there something that we lack?

The wolf pack would never tolerate this
The deviant would put killed or banished
Their decision final, they don’t take the piss
No lawyers needed for the punished

But we have developed methods of killing
No need for strength to pull a trigger
The weakest link can become a villain
Shoot a baby or a father figure

A mad chimp could not go on a spree
Armed with a stick and bad attitude
He is just no match for a team of three
He was delicious; that crazy dude

But the advanced brain of man
Apparently bazillion years ahead of apes
This brain will hatch a plan
Full of murder, full of rapes

These plans eventually lead to action
Men full of hate, full of fear
Blow up a car, end a vacation
76 innocents in headlights dear

Can we follow the wolf pack?
Banish a killer, but to where?
Aside from Mars he will be back
Send him there, and then back to here

Prison is choice of society
3 meals a day and a warm bed
Capital punishment is almost history
But truth is they should be dead

The damaged heart can be mended
The broken bone splinted and healed
But maybe the psycho’s life ended
Surely his fate should be sealed

Medication is the only answer
No one wants a psycho’s slaughter
Chemical imbalance is their cancer
But we’ll never again hear their victim’s laughter

Put them to death; put them on drugs
The wolf solution can’t work in out society
Give them a chance; give them some hugs
Send them to me for some wolf hospitality.
