Humans suck. You think animals have language barriers, divorces, or Obesity? How about issues with how their nails look before a big day? Poverty, Life insurance, Alcoholism? Animals don't have bad dates, pizza regrets, or boyfriend troubles. Nor do they obsess over Crest Whitestrips or Lean Cuisines. We, straight out, suck.
It's so easy for a dog to say 'I love you', simple as a tail wag. Yet, here we are with a vocabulary more complex than God, and we can't seem to find the words.
We hire expensive landscapers to win the 'Best Front Yard' Award. We cram our brains with useless information from heavy textbooks, give us a reason to sound pretentious, just so we could forget it the day after an exam. We rummage through our camera to find a decent profile picture. Who cares!?
"When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head, television freakshow, cops&robbers everywhere. subway makes me nervous people pushing me too far. I've got to break away so take my hand now 'cause I want to live
like animals
careless and free
like animals
i want to live
i want to run through the jungle
the wind in my hair
and the sand at my feet.
Animals and children tell the truth
they never lie
which one is more human
there's a thought now you decide"

ReplyDeleteprobably heard it first when i was in 4th grade or something. :)
Animals cannot build cities (okay I'll cut an exception for ants), animals cannot fend for themselves in a storm (more exceptions to furry bears, and their hibernation talents), animals lack the capacity to feel success after achieving a task that requires more than just the impulse of genetic wiring. Animals are plain dumb. Animals cannot talk to humans. Animals cannot dress like humans. Animals can't make my breakfast. Animals can't do my homework. Animals are tasty, at least some of them are. Animals cannot comment on your blog post. Animals cannot empathize with your sorrows. Animals cannot understand your complex emotions. Animals cannot admire you for your character. Animals cannot make you feel complete, unless you are a crazy cat woman. Animals cannot give you a compliment that gives you the warm fuzzies. Animals cannot play chess. Animals can't write books. Animals cannot get high and talk about the philosophy of life at my birthday party. Animals cannot tell me stories and put me to bed. Animals cannot make music videos.
ReplyDeleteI lie.
