The Difference

Animals think,

and animals react

Animals sleep,

and animals attack

Animals eat,

and animals mate

Animals fly,

and animals wait

Animals feel,

and animals cry

Animals sicken,

and animals die

Animals come,

and animals go

Animals watch,

and animals know

Animals stalk,

and animals deceive

But animals lack faith

—and cannot believe
