Who keeps us primitive – ourselves.
Who makes us ignorant – nature.
Who keeps us ignorant – ourselves.
Who makes us tribal – nature.
Who keeps us tribal - ourselves.
Who makes us stereotypical – nature.
Who keeps us stereotypical – ourselves.
Who makes us narrow – nature.
Who keeps us narrow – ourselves.
Who makes us wild – nature.
Who keeps us wild – ourselves.
Nature still dictates plenty on how we apes move.
But she has also given us the power to improve.”
