A Soul to Bare

Man built god; 
dragged himself upon a pedestal 
kicked dirt in the faces of all other life 
Crowned himself as deity 

What animal separates this ape from that? 
The human animal; ignored and loathed by louse and lion 

Revel in our glory, in every brother is quarry 
Butcher every life, until our land is stained and dead 

From our towers we cry "every man shall bear a soul, 
a right that no other beast shall bear" 

and in the shadows the dogs shook their heads 
"shame upon those apes, pride comes before a fall"
