fear the monsters

if you ever
want to see
Darwinism
in action,
watch a street
fight,
watch mob mentality,
watch a riot,
watch a protest
gone wrong.
the monkey comes out.
the primal
lizard brain rears its
scaly head.
it is brutality at its
finest.
every inch
of evolution
drains away,
and we become
the monsters
we are most afraid of.
you will not
have to go far
to find proof of
Darwinian Theory.
turn on your television.
check out a few clips
on YouTube.
hit up the nearest bar.
swing by that
neighborhood
you were always told
to stay away from.
take a tour of your
local
penitentiary.
just wait until
civilization breaks down.
you might get lucky
and find some
compassion,
but mostly,
you will see what
we are all truly
capable of.
you will see
survival of the fittest
for the sake of
survival of the fittest.
it wouldn't take much
for the whole
goddamn
thing to go up in flames.
it wouldn't take long
to destroy
everything we
have worked for.
all you need
is a little
fear.
