This is humanities greatest fault
Thinking they are then beyond assault
From those who are just worldly critters
Who do so much good which what matters
We slaughter animals which taste good
As all we think is think is of eating food
Then we like to see them all perform
In zoo or circus far from where born Humans don't like each other either
When meeting colored folk we dither
Or would prefer a war to be fought
Such disasters always come to nought
Nice rhyming! And unarguable sentiments.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, you've given us an accurate snapshot of the way things are.
ReplyDeleteMagical Mystical Teacher is correct. When it comes to how we treat other creatures, humanity doesn't look very good. I'm always hoping we do better, but I fear too many care too little...
ReplyDeleteSo true, and so sad. I wish my 25 year old would quit telling me, "It's as good as we're gonna get."
ReplyDeleteYou created poetry from a difficult subject to address ... well done!!!
ReplyDeleteTo think could be the human race’s greatest toll to help maintain the sacred balance. Unfortunately, the three disruptive words our thinking seems to gravitate towards most easily — “better than you”.
ReplyDeleteWe lived on a farm and butcher one of our hogs that didn't taste good. It was an old boar hog that was father to our younger crops. Really bad tasting, smelled the house up too.
ReplyDelete..
You let the truth out of it's black cloak!
