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
