From the arctic wastes
Emerges a new race
A strange creature
Only hunger in its face
Parasite, carnivore
A new kind of being
Devoid of intellect
Or emotional reaction
Evolution is at a standstill
As rapacious beasts regain
Dominion over the earth
Their primary quest is for survival
Living and dying solely by instinct
As they fight starvation
In the devastated world we left to them
Perhaps evolution would ultimately
Have produced these malicious
And carnal creatures even in
The absence of the apocalypse
For whether deliberately or
Unwittingly, whether or not
They foolishly elected to use
Their nuclear deterrent, this was
The destiny mankind had choosen
Subhumanity
