The animals should be our professors. They are indeed smart, if not smarter; just ask the baboon, they even taught us to hold our hands In prayer in the daytime, but our stupid behinds do it at night, but unlike them we prayed in vain and understood the whole process not.. We also blow smoke in our pets faces, then laugh at their disgust, while we simultaneously, cough our damn lungs out. We push our dogs out the way so we can take a crap, when he’s trying to get a drink, and get angry, cause he’s angry, but then we sit in fright, about something the news man said about no rainfall, and the coming thirst, due to some sort of drought. The whole animal kingdom probably watch humans board the space shuttle, attempting to reach space from the ground and tree tops… stupid humans, the earth is already there, but these dummies know it not.

from title to last line,
from cynically comical
tone
to insightfully profound
wisdom..
I enjoyed this read, immensely
thank you! dear Poet
'when he’s trying to get a drink, and get angry, cause
he’s angry, but then we sit in fright, about
something the news man said about no rainfall, and
the coming thirst, due to some sort of drought.'
(deep, so
so, deep!
a cyclical society, seeped
in all-things, morosely bleak
yet, still
we few, who dare
still, seek
dream, yearn
and hope
in that alone, there's
enough
for us, to grip
dogpaddle and swim
till that last, chocking
sip of gifted, life...)
That’s exactly the effect I wanted to have on the reader, humor but yet a level of seriousness that depicts humanities absurdity.
