Might We

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

Like a certain political party today, for a subject that has been studied, jeered, satirized, and made into a contentious debate for ill thought,
Nature’s truth knows not evasion among its honest creatures.

Might We

 

Might we know so little?

Does the eye-to-eye bother us?

Will truth of purpose

In design’s innate evolvement

Leave us

Without

Connection?

 

Might we…

 

Be of inherent panic

To think we are not superior

To Nature’s non-Homo Sapient beings,

The ones unwilling to obviate their normal,

A normal that has no problem being authentic,

Comfortable in a less convoluted lifestyle that

Asked so often to be something or someone we’re not.

They eat each other, don't they? We are only a tiny notch of DNA above chimpanzees. They are highly territorial and hierarchical. Punishment sometimes involves killing a rival and eating them.

We are that close to that kind of behavior. We honor war and condone killing as some sort of ritualistic necessary evil in order to conquer our rivals with God on our side.

It would be nice if we were just a bit smarter, a bit more civilized, and could move towards solving real problems rather than spending too much time on bickering over trivial things.

Indeed, there is something to be said for the naturalness of animals or nature being in its own true place and at home with itself, animal nature within universal nature, how beautiful.
