Lyrics Kin - Momentum

We always reject what is blatantly clear
Choosing one life worth more than another

We cannot dare claim civility
When we inflict such suffering

Moments of affinity
Quickly quashed by abject fear
Of seeing the face our own anatomy

Empathy suffers the final blow
When we condone murder
In the face of familiarity

Homo sapien, Pan paniscus
Our inherent difference is negligible

And yet our own deference, a palpable urge
To separate, so we don't endure their pain

Is this how we want it to be?
Our own family cast aside?
Do we continue sublime horror
Infect flesh in vain hope of cure
Financial gains from febrile blood

We are taking lives for a species best left to rot.
