Amongst The Vultures

Some say that the monkey and
The human being are the most closest
Related of all primitives and species
Me, i'd say the bird of prey
Yes the vulture
Best resembles man's behavior in
Modern cultures
They circle in the sky, then dive
Digging their talons into your side
Just as they did when you were alive
They sit perched up in their trees
Waiting patiently
All the while living for free off the scraps
Of you and me
I can see the vultures
In your beady little eyes
They come in all shapes, forms and size
It's nothing to be ashamed of
It's something you could never hide
Everybodies got a lil vulture inside
I've been one before, i'll be one again
We have all been known to fall victim
The vulture could never be caged nor tamed
It's something inside of us that we
Can never ever change
In the darkest moments
Of our darkened lives
We've all been known to take up flight
Amongst the vultures
