Obsolete

I no longer hunt
I no longer lift heavy weights or run
What can I do?
What can I do that's of value to the world?

I sleep in the sun
Ask for food, even when I'm not hungry
but I'm hungry for love
I'm hungry for love

We're replaced, obsolete
We are pets for each other
How can we live when our skills not needed?
Why should we live when our individuality is unimportant?
Ah, but love for each other
we can give
Love we can give
