Animals

Fighting like animals for low hanging fruit
Because it's all we can see and
It's all we can reach and
It's all we can do

Until the enlightened says shake it
Or stands on your head
Or makes a ladder or a slingshot
Or takes an ax to it instead

The high fruit is devoured
It tastes just the same
And the fruit tree is dead
And we all share the blame

What a loss, our sweet fruit tree
We squandered our fortune
But we invented new tools
And we planted an orchard
