What is a man but a wild beast?
Just a heavy skull with a wide crack in front
Tarnished yellow by misfortunate weather
And the jaw bone surely missing
So a forked tongue hangs limp
Pallid and certainly wet with saliva
Quite reflective of sunlight
Yes, from the tongues of other beasts it is so
If there is one thing a beast must do before he dies
Then he must fight a foe much larger than he
With the ultimate clash of thick yellow skulls
The beast's warm blood is suddenly drunk down
To bubble and churn in the stomach of another
Would someone small journey to rescue a jaw bone?
For he could not bare to witness such destruction
So he would cross an endless desert, then to the oceans end
How frustrated failure must have beset him
Dumb beasts with their tongues
So thirstily they move in the wind and fog
You could curse them, but they curse themselves
What is a beast without the nature of one?
Ah yes, clearly visible are a row of gnarly teeth
The stench of flesh rolling off its tongue
And the stench of blood in its primitive nostrils
Those teeth make one disregard an insignificant missing jaw
It shakes violently and is consumed in fire
Such a deep, potent emotion erupts inside it
And the days soon pass, and it awakens all beasts
What becomes of this, is the gravest off all serious matters
For both the beasts who submit, and those who dominate
They all shall storm helplessly into the depths of time
A clumsily moving mass of stringy muscle and skin
The beast is doomed to be a spectacle to men
It is a wonder it never bites off its own tongue
