"Man is the cruelest animal."- Friedrich Nitzsche.
I introduce to you,
the scorpion, the lion & man.
Survival of the fittest. Who's fit to survive?
After all the evidence is gathered, to what conclusion do we all arrive?
It is obvious that only one sits atop the food chain,
& for the past million years only one has continued to reign.
Beware of the scorpion's sting.
A predator of the lower wild & can survive in just about any temperature.
The fearless settler who roams with the heart of a fierce competitor.
Hard body, Exoskeleton. Grasping claws to tame the weak.
Don't forget about it's tail which packs a venomous sting.
Can paralyze any beast just so it can feast.
Powerful enough to even put a human being to sleep.
Is there another out there who is worthy of mention?
Moment of silence as the next creature began making it's entrance.
The lion's death grip.
This is simba's salute who's family is of African roots.
Where even the felines contain traits that are masculine, too.
The paw.... strong enough to rip abdomens loose.
A dominant beast who's mane is a fashionable suit.
Highly distinctive features which demand respect & honor.
Any enemies crossing lines should expect a slaughter.
But is there another out there who is worthy of mention?
Enters the next creature who truly rules out of ignorance for attention.
Who rules the earth with an iron scepter?
.... Jesus Christ, let's not get too religious.
Man has taken over, we're vicious,
causing mass destruction in a matter of minutes.
Our traits surpass any species, we adapt to survive.
Quick to sacrifice our very own, subtract & divide.
Other creatures have challenged the throne only to fall in the end.
Wrath is ours to hone & consequence ours bend.
We stand upright as if to display prominent features,
we are the cruelest of all living things,
AND the most dominant creatures.
