Academics and the common man
Both live out their allotted span.
Why worry about whence we came-
Can we alter destiny and cheat the game?
There’s no changing our direction
It’s all set out by pre-selection.
The reason why we’re here
Though to most, is still unclear
I have this half-baked theory
That will answer any query…
It’s simply to increase the girth
Of dear old Mother Earth.
