Bird sacrificed in the coal mines
To test the levels of carbon monoxide.
Rats in our laboratories of course
As tin cans to test fire our
Experimental medicines.
Haven't the dogs been our
Long-standing first line of defence
Against those heavyweight carnivores?
And the cattle of course
Butchered into meat to satiate our
Not-so-starving needs.
Have we been held hostage in
This ranch called Earth too?
By some higher civilization-
To test against the level of
Oxygen and temperature rise?
To derive a formula for optimal
Resource allocation through
A false means of fair competition?
Who are you sitting above in
A surveillance room studying our
Simulated lives?
Can you please delete the footage?
From the previous night.
I wasn't supposed to pee standing up,
I accidentally identify myself as male.
