we
are made of flesh and bones
hopes and dreams
faults and fears
and we
have traveled through time
millions of years
grew out of our fur
fashioned our weapons
to make up for our plain hands,
weak bodies,
slow feet.
and we survived
catastrophes and plagues
paradigm shifts and evolution
and came out
the selfish creatures at the top of the pyramid
draining the earth’s precious resources
destroying what’s in our way for our own progress
but did you know
if you plucked us off
the face of the earth
nothing would change
at all?
