Savagery
Rubi Ramirez
Human instinct, to live by rules and have peace
Boys on an island with no one or nothing
Slowly their innocence will decrease
They wear fleece, one of them is obese
The island around them seems loving
Human instinct, to live by rules and have peace
The boys gather to form groups with a chief
The one holding the conch will be instructing
Slowly their innocence will decrease
They become hungry craving for beef
They create spears to prepare for hunting
Human instinct, to live by rules and peace
Inside the jungle there is a beast
Jack and Ralph disagree and began fussing
Slowly their innocence will decrease
They attack and hunt, but each other they seize
Taking it back, prevent themselves from crushing
Human instinct, to live by rules and have piece
Slowly their innocence has decreased.
