Humans have advantages over other creatures;
Having learned to copycat their most amazing features!
There is not an animal that does what we cant do!
Were great because we replicated what the creatures knew!
Weve 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 arent 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.

Polished rhyme pattern and razor sharp sarcasm.
The strongest and smartest aren/'/t always the wisest.

I think the Antarctic like liquid glass
is wind swept and frozen with mountain
high, almost impassible
almost like living on Mars, where it/'/s impossible for humans
to survive, sure penguins thrive there, but no homosapien
ever could.
What is inferior in life, the great whale, a herd of elephant,
a wild bear, a lion, a zebra///
A gorilla
in the mist?
James Michener, would paint history
together with myth, religion,
species and groups, pseudamonas,
the millions living within the soil, the earthworm
moving more top soil than any human by themselve
ever could, turning plants into nitrogen
And oh, how much we do try to immitate
We try to touch our senses, try to see the world
and the horizon past the Earth
into the stars, trying to advance always advance
We dig up the past, searching for a connection
We know a human when we see one
from small bits of bone hundreds of thousands
of years ago
while looking far and wide high up upon the stars
A more gentle race to compare,
all the worlds a stage we siill
say, unsure of ourselves
through all this time, that still
seems like yesterday, sadly
even now
Peace! |
