HOMO SAPIENS? <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

Sometimes I really have to wonder,
\nWhy “Homo sapiens” applies to man,
\nIf building nukes is being so wise,
\nThen I really just don’t understand.<\/p>\n

The same is true for all the rest,
\nEspecially those nasties called WMD,
\nIf we’re so dumb to make such things,
\nMaybe we did fall out of some tree.<\/p>\n

We hit our head and broke our skull,
\nAnd all our brains got mashed a bit,
\nIf we were smart, we’d get some sense,
\nAnd say it’s finally time to quit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
