There is a part of us that is animal,
And that is the perfect part of us,
The part that seeks it's natural way
To be what it certainly is.
The fat, sleek part of us is natural,
That eats and breeds and yawns,
And stretches out across the plains
Without worry of beyond.

We see the animals, and they are perfect.
Their best is more than good enough.
They rest when they are tired,
And do all things as needed.
Theirs is the better part of valor,
And we would do well to understand
The animal within ourselves,
And some of its demands.
