I don't need people but
People need me,
And I need to be needed
So I feign humanity.
I'm not one of the people but
That's what we all believe,
For being one is taxing
And we all wish for reprieve.
I don't need people but
Still, here they are.
I assume there must be purpose
To a species come this far.
I don't need people but
Who really does?
All we do is think and sigh,
Fight and die,
Multiply,
Personify,
Cheat and lie,
Cage and tie,
Fail and try,
Let our flaws intensify,
And destroy what 'people' was.
