THE CHEATIf you do not wish to

url to Mick via PM for confirmation, enclose the entire poem (or part/s thereof)

viewing (other than page source view). You could also add before the
<!-- something to the effect of "This Poem under review".
In Us We Trust
Humans have advantages over other creatures;
Having learned to copycat their most amazing features!
There is not an animal that does what we can’t do!
Were great because we replicated what the creatures knew!
We’ve learned to fly; and to rely on camoflage to hide us;
To see when dark; and snarl and bark at those who would defy us!
To breathe well under water; and navigate the seas;
To live on ice or desert sands; no matter the degree.
To eat the plants that heal us; to migrate where we please;
To follow tracks; to live in packs; to set our boundaries.
Pity that the creatures aren’t as wise as we;
For we command to rape the land and take more than we need.
We wear their skins and cage them in, and plow their habitat.
We leverage their ignorance and count upon the fact;
That theyre too dumb to join and come to hunt us down with guns.
Weve no concern that they will learn the deeds that we have done.
Until they can, thank goodness man will always be superior.
To set the pace, til we erase, whats left of our inferiors.
