The Living World (complete forbidden version)

Why should we poke our heads out?

Why should we cry?
for power and resources
for struggle and survival

Why should contentment laugh silently
at ambition and waste?

each time confined to unconscious reactions
when it matters instinct takes hold

Why should we stumble over judgement?
Why should we follow their lead?

such an infinite place
why stay in culture
when only one life?

hidden in dawn
dying in dusk
connected by no other
than primate lust.
