They prowl the world, unworried by other beasts.
They are everywhere, separated by their looks.
They roam the land as if they own it,
Not caring for it.
These animals are here for a purpose,
But that purpose, is unknown – to them!
They go their own way, not caring
What they destroy!
Nothing is safe from them!
They eat all around them;
Move water, remove plants,
Kill animals, who do them no harm,
For fun!
To see the most dangerous animal in the world;
Just look in a mirror.

- Comment from author about the poem: Many of you will not listen to the whole piece of music, it was written by Messiaen in a German prisoner of war camp in the Second World War using the only instruments that were available, to my mind it is such a meaningful peace of music.

I am almost always disappointed with us on a daily basis dear Andy, such a powerful write. I guess in the end there is a levelness of those like us who do give a damn.
Very true Teddy, unfortunately those who can enhance our lives into a better world don't seem to care.

Your first line gave it away.

Good write Gold.
Animals - furry ones, etc - have no sin! 🙂 Therein in the human problem, I say.
Very true Orchi.

Is Fido the second most dangerous animal in the world, if poets forget the 18+ box? lol.
Cryptic, candid, correct, Andy.
Thank you Dave, much appreciated.

Written as a well penned poem, but I'm sorry to say, it could not be any closer to the truth of the human species 😔
Thank you AP.

I would be inclined to place politicians at the top of the heap, but with mere humans a very close second .. Neville
Very true Neville, thank you.
