Do you think a sparrow feels no cold?
Do you think a pig feels no pain?
Does a swan feel loss if it's mate is sold?
Does a bull feel imprisoned with a chain?
Do you think a bug feels no fear?
Will a dog die for his master?
Can an elephant shed a tear?
Can birds sense a pending disaster?
Why does man think only he has a soul,
that he has a monopoly on being superior?
Why is it that his only goal
is to make himself God and everything else inferior?

Good question.
Thanks for the read.
My pleasure.
an ant's strength, putting us to shame
yet we parade like our foot size
means we can stomp over all other
life;
abuse our cows, keep them impregnated
their whole miserable life
just so we can
make milkshakes from their
misery n strife;
I laugh at people's, brazen
assumptions of what evil is
while cracking an egg, every morning
and trying to dictate, who
gets the right to define, if
an embryo is a fetus or a life
to be protected
while loudly proclaiming
'I'll take mine sunny side up'
...
what word defines a person
better than, the ultimate:
'hypocrite'
Thanks L.B. I appreciate the review and understanding words. Yes we as a species have a tendency to underestimate the value of others and overestimate our own.
