Morality?

Regard, how the eagle vanquishes the lark,
The lion kills the wildebeest in nature's park,
The peaceful, innocent cow ar lamb
Is now a meat dish in a can,
And all the presidents who're on the take,
From Haliburton, Saudis and the Watergate,
And many others sponging on the public cake,
Those leaders in the Senate and the House,
Subjects to the lobbyists' seduction,
Now, heavily tainted with corruption,
The former Nazi leaders of German industry,
Are now the kingpins in their 'democracy',
The head of Stalin's Secret Service organization,
Is now the leader of the Russian nation,
The robber barons of today,
Are now the same thieving predators
Who ruled us yesterday,
Yes, nature requires
That the fittest predator survives,
And keeps the weak as slaves
Throughout their lives,
For in a world where big fish eat little fish,
Morality is but an idle wish.......
