Return of the Neanderthals

Hands dragging on the floor

Half moon curved spine

Incomprehensible grunts

Spear waving beasts

Let off the leash

Hunting the poor

Killing the captured

Tearing at limbs

Blood smeared faces

Celebratory screams

Dancing round a fire

Of burning corpses

The smell of death

Is elixir to the insane

From cave dwellers

To dream sellers

From war based on lies

To corporate corruption

The world has been fooled

By big business

And politicians permanently bluffing

Here’s to the end of the world

We all ended up with nothing.
