Domination simple
Granted and taken
Better than the monkey

All alive and set in rank
Class low and high
Nature blind see it as it is

Point and arrow
Canine instinct chase the squirrel
Innanimate dare to move

Nothing special
Nothing to brag about
The way it is

Blind and dumb
Intelligence not required
Ignorant and proven

Just another animal
Destructive and wasteful
With our own ways as well

I went for a walk and noticed how dogs barked at me as if i were just another animal.  Then i thought about the way they knew how to sneak up on me.  They knew to get behind me, and clearly knew where my power of site was.  It was just kind of weird.

let it spill and roar like hell!

thought provoking indeed. I always think about weird stuff like that. I haven't taken a walk in a couple of weeks actually for just that reason, I think too much about stuff most people wouldn't take note of. I usually come back depressed and write a poem of this sort. Great write.

Actually we, humans are part of the animal kingdom.  lol  Its like dogs just see something move and dont even register what it is and go after it.  It felt like I was no different from a car or something... Oh well.  It makes for a nice poem.  Just using the thought with imagination.  

I walk alot actually, just it was different today.  

Thanx eor.  I know Im not just another animal.  I can reason.

Wow I'm glad I came here, because now I know I'm not the only one that thinks in abstract tones. hehehe I kinda like that myself. Not being cookie cutter, and a carbon copy of something, or someone else. Don't think so! What's that Homey the clown on "In Living Color" used to say "Homey don't play dat! gigglesssssssssss!
