Homo Magister is a curious fellow who shakes up the world like a bowl of Jell-O.
He wanted the sun to go 'round the earth,but astronomers scorned him and reacted with mirth.
He wanted mankind to be a godlike creature,but Darwin showed him his origins in slime, like a sci-fi double feature.
He wanted to think he was born building great civilizations,but anthropologists found a startling revelation; for 2 million years, since the first human birth we lived peacefully in tribes as part of the earth.
Everything he thought turned out to be wrong,but he still keeps singing that same old song.
Even if the evidence can't quite be produced,and his logical thinking is poorly deduced.
He props up his ego and tells himself talesof being superior to butterflies, puppy dogs and whales.
He says his god gave him dominion over it alland excuses the mess he's made 'cause he had quite a fall.
But he'll get it right one day this surely he knowson earth or in heaven or old star trek episodes.
'Cause he's king of the hill and so highly evolved,if he wasn't could he create so many problems unsolved?
The greenhouse and ozone and nuclear radiation,mass extinction, world war, an apocalyptic invitation.
Though the signs suggest he won't survive for much longer, he huffs and he puffs and says he'll get stronger.
He'll stomp and he'll chomp and devour the planet, but it won't do his bidding no matter how much he damns it!
It just spews him and eschews him and reminds him again,that like the dinosaurs, his story is reaching its end.
With his last breath he proclaims he could not be mistaken,but wonders about that road he'd not taken,the one that the Hopi and Lakota stayed on so true through eons of travels under skies so blue.
Homo Magister lingers on this final thought and learns that the world cannot be bought,
that salvation was never something he had to attain, it was given to him like the wind, sun and rain.
And now he's been stripped of his claim as world's Lord and Master, delusions of grandeur killed poor homo Magister.
