48. The Problem With Earthlings

The promlem with the Earthings is that they got hooked on the OSEs
which led to hyperactivity and hyper halitosis
glucose, fructose, sucrose, and whatever
if it lead to increased sales they'd spray it on your sweater
and wash it down with some chips, yeah chips, chocolate and cheese
then lift their heads up to the sky and try to pray away heart disese

so now they're hyperactive on top of their hyper-violence
And those aren't even the worst ones, the worst are the ones that are silent
half paying attention to what happens beyond their homes
they claim to be about compassion while real actual children are bombed by drones

The problem with the Earthlings and a long history of abuse
they won't ever break their cycle, it would hurt the ratings for news
Huns, conquistadores, plantation owners, robber barrons, and on
the only permissible debate of late is how much MORE to fund their Pentagon

The problem with the Earthings is that they worship their GDP
they're not allowed to do things that make sense without consulting their economy
Cancer alley's and actual place where actual people live
Vinyl waste and toxic taste for those not rich enough to give

The problem with the Earthlings is is they overtax their minds
How'd you expect to have any time left juggling ten deadlines (at a time)
they don't know how to ask for help, with even the simplest task
they're all isolationists anyway so who would you even ask?

The problem with Earthings is they don't know how to say 'I don't know'
if they don't know the answer they make up something and then belive that it's so
so there are 7 billion perceptions and each one of them is right
and if you ever disagree you'll see they're given to fight

The problem with the Earthlings is when they do agree
you can't argue with absolute nonsense if they've labeled it history
a continuing cycle of misinformation that must be maintained somehow
it didn't happen at all this way but Hey it's tradition now

The problem with the Earthlings is that lying can be a trade
just get a degree in lying skillfully and then you've got it made
Hill & knowlton & Young & Rubicam and all those PR guys
reep millions of billions of profit points learning to market your lies
