something to think about


Poem Artwork

 

A rush to judgement,
 

Check out the causes you care about most -- with stories from Care2's network of bloggers and non-profit partners.

 
Animals are smarter than we thought. This matters not just because it’s cool and fascinating. It matters because people use lack of intelligence

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A rush to judgement often leads,
Deeper into swamps and weeds,
Where sanity is all but green,
When lost, deep in the muck we’ve been,
 
All looks the same, from distance far,
A blob of light, a shiny star,
Your mind at best at times most rare,
Looks deeper more, that’s if you dare,
 
And as the world turns on its axis eons round,
Here and there, a kernel truth we found,
But since I lack a sense of knowing,
Don’t ask me, when and how the winds are blowing,
 
All is up, and it’s all down,
It matters not, if you’re a star, or if a clown,
All together though we are too big, too small,
We sure are that, we others call,
 
One is far too big to see,
For it’s all, it’s you and me,
The tree, the creature in the field,
In humbleness to that I yield.©25/02/2013

How wonderful... if humans could redevelop their telepathic abilities and communicate with more creatures. I believe it would be a humbling experience.
Thank you for your compassionate heart sweet Poet!
With respect,

Yes, we are an arrogant lot, thinking that we have dominion over the earth and all its inhabitants, when we behave it ignorant and stupid ways that we can't take back.

It takes a certain amount of arrogance to survive in today's society, but it also takes intelligence. When you let ignorance and stupidity to rule what we do, we do a disservice to our stature as intelligent beings. I certainly do hope we wise up before it's too late.

Something to think about indeed, especially these horrendous days when we now teach our children to kill everything living around us. One of the intelligent animals on your list above is the squirrel, and in New York, they just held a squirrel killing contest - with prizes for kids who killed the biggest squirrels.

Truly disgusting what parents and so called 'leaders of society' are teaching kids today:
