SAVAGES

Guns don't just go off and kill people,
People are always making sure that's possible,
The wickedness of man lies in the depth of his heart,
Soft on the outside but internally vicious like a baseball bat.

Putting your trust in men is like a ticking bomb,
It could take a long time in the state of being numb,
But then burst to life like the devil taking a hellacious ride,
Reminding that putting your trust in men was a potential suicide.

People make promises they can't fulfill,
Lying all they can without paying attention to how it makes other feel,
These vessels would come begging you for favor and help,
Same vessels would still come to set you up and leave you stranded to yelp.

Humans are the super predators roaming around in the world,
Clever along with the dexterity they bring to the board,
One minute they are making countless vows,
The next could have them hit you undauntedly with several plows.
