Do You Remember?

I hear you laughing
But know this
Many times the hyena screws up
And the lions take it down
But sometimes the roles reverse
And the hyena takes a lion
I know you are not in Africa
But take this as a warning
Those animals will kick your ass
You feel safely removed
In your thoroughly modern life
Deep down however
An ancient part of you knows

Do you remember forgetting?
