Species We

Species We


Human beings

We are 
currently
the dominant
planetary species

Civilized controllers 
of the realm 

We fancy ourselves
as highly evolved

quite rational creatures

but underneath
our pretty garments 

beneath the strut
we convey

Animals are we

soft and pink

fragile creatures
with sophisticated
weaponry

Long removed
from the
jungle primordial


We rapidly evolved 
up
the food chain

Dominating 
with 
high tech gimmickry 

but in reality

deep down
 
we still be

soft and pink

mammal 
animals

Fragile stewards
of an
ailing planet
