The cats in the alleys of many small towns
Are screeching, hissing and howling loud sounds
The tom cats who lose will slink far away
They plan to come back on some future day
The female pursued by multiple males
Leads her rejections around by their tails
The fittest of toms compete for a mate
It's only the best who get to create
As he gets older, he feels satisfied
His genes will go forward long after he dies
The formerly vanquished has claimed his new prize
He's reached his pinnacle, now starts his demise

Author Notes
In humans, in modern times, money is substituted for brute strength. Money is more useful in our society. But, what about evolution? In the animal kingdom, most of the time, only the fittest males mate with the females ensuring the healthiest possible offspring. A physically weak man with lots of money is worth more than the most physically fit man. Is money weakening our gene pool? If a father knows how to make money, then does his son? If he has acumen and the father teaches him, yes
That is the very definition of privilege. It gives his child advantages over most other children
