Species We

Human beings

The current dominant
planetary species

Civilized controllers
of the realm

We fancy ourselves
as highly evolved
rational creatures
but underneath
our pretty garments
and beneath
the cocky facade
exists scared
soft and pink
fragile creatures
equipped with only
slick 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

we are failing
