Come on man, there's history in all of this,
Simian flu, monkeys. Bullshit man, horseshit.
This is a government made virus,
designed, manufactured,
to put us out of our misery
they euthanized us,
the CEOs man, and the Congressmen, Senators, Obama..
..royal families, the Arabs..
..Donald Trump, that's who profits from all of this,
I guarantee you, they're having a whole hell of a better time
than we are.
You got these crazy assholes out here saying:
"Monkeys did it"
"Nature got us"
Bullshit man! Nature got us.

point a finger at cows.
Avian flu. I don't remember anybody pointing a finger at..

You don't wanna be food?

this place clean by the time daddy got home.
