What Are Humans?

Written: NOV 22, 2001

To rise above our unthinking brethren,
The uncontemplative beasts,
To become those who’ve written law.

Mathematics, Art, Warfare,
All these we’ve created,
And for good or ill they set us apart.

We now classify others,
Write of them in books,
Write of destructions we’ve wrought.

Are we good:
For we destroy our environment,
And extinguish the lives of other species.

From world view:
We are the best and worst of it’s children,
And now it is up to Mother to eat the cancer.

Our world falls apart,
Even as we fall upon each other,
We are just smart dinosaurs, perishing.
