Uncle History is hungry
But people give him dust
If they’re especially generous
He gets broken glass
All he wants is a clean, unpolitical snack
The zoo keeper mob tosses him
Hair and fingernails
For 300,000 years
He’s been famished
Thinks: “homo habilis
Never deprived me”
The problem is the “sapiens”
Thought is cruelty
Oh he’s hungry alright
He watches
As they polish off the planet
Planet of the Blind
