The world was once a beautiful place,
Full of joy and freedom.
With smiling mouths and buckets of grace,
But then Kolman was able to lead them.
The horrid thoughts, the wicked laws,
The things he was going to do,
But the one thing that he snatched with his paws
Was to make mankind a part of a zoo.
He rounded them up, slaughtered them all,
‘Till only half of us were kept,
The rest all died, their legacies small,
A human woman was left.
She was taken by a bot, married a man,
A half-bot child she had,
She grew up, married the last human
But their child, a human, was glad.
