How We Survive

Morals, manners, and common sense,
Combine together to constrain
Our freedom to cause chaos and harm,
Causing us, miraculously, to restrain
What would otherwise raise alarm,
A klaxon call of impending pain,
To be given around and received
Among us, the most altruistic of apes,
Our clan rules and instincts, interleaved.
