We are all born into a world

Others have raised from dust

We profit from the work they’ve done

Yet self-praise is our lust

Roads and cars and planes and busses

The list is oh so long

Bobs and Jills and even Gusses

Have helped us all along

So when you hear someone mention

They built it all alone

Tell them they are full of shit

And smack them in their dome

 

Be good. Do better. Go vegan.

-The Wry Stoic

  1. Obviously (hopefully), the “smack them in their dome” should be intellectually through debate and reason, whereas I do not advocate violence.
