In the beginning of creation
Sicknesses were the greedy hunters of death
They poxed
Boxed
Layed their coughs
They shivered
Angered
Boiled and ached
Then taboos added to the list
Until death added a new recruit
War
II
War was planted from our greed
The land which owned
We sought to own
The will for each
We sought to breech
So war was crowned
Hunter of hunters
For centuries
Until death added another
Luxury
III
Luxury and comfort
Like lost and ambitious gods
Reigned and still reign
Smoking into lungs
Poison and lasers
Hunting and hunting
On the hierarchy at its peak
Roots are always important
So we travel back
And dig our own
