Speck
about four billion years ago
a tiny speck appeared
how it got here, nobody knows
but this speck was quite weird
water and soil floated on top
somehow nothing would fall
it kept spinning nonstop
and things on this speck were quite small
there were furry things
four legged creatures
things with wings
and all had distinct features
but the strangest ones
were the ones that stood
had thumbs, and could run
and at first they were good
over the years the strange ones made friends
worked together
and learned to depend
fast forward in time
and it was all about them
they fought each other for a dollar and dime
pretty soon friends became competitors
if they didn't compete they would be prey
in a world of predators
soon the speck turned grey
and while they ended they're kind
they were so blind
to the fact that they're just something small
on a tiny speck that no one would find
