Thinking Animals?


We are all 

But laboratory mice

So highly trained-

In the art of you-do-this

You-get-that syndrome

That we run through

Our countless programs-

Of daily activities

Without a flaw.


Day in and day out

(To be kept on the rolls)

Month in and month out

(To be rewarded a-salary)

Year in and year out

(Hallelujah---An increment)


And we call ourselves

Thinking Animals?
