Numb. 1113 How They Gonna Keep Us Down On The Farm

MANKIND EVOLVED to live in small groups.

A family, a tribe, or a clan.

Cities, towns, not even villages

were ever a part of the plan.

Nor was living among other animals.

(Where we would all share diseases.

Bad enough that “cousin” next door

never covers her mouth when she sneezes.)

It was unheard of to live in herds of

tens and hundreds of millions.

And crazy nuts to give up our huts

and pack ourselves into pavilions.

It's as if some single-cell master

noting how ants took up “farming”,

said, “What the hell, we might as well

gather these critters (delicious and warming),

pack them together so we can inspect them,

tighter and tighter so we can infect them

and when we're hungry we can select them

to feed upon and breed upon,

be they breathing or carrion.”

This may not be true, but I am suspicious.

We could be the livestock in their agribusiness.
