I've come to the conclusion
while reading ones opinion
real intelligence isn't rewarded
within this earthly dominion.
With no real predators
Conceiving the most lets you win,
intelligence becomes endangered
and quickly begins to thin.
Ingenuity is scarce
And we pay in gold just to exist...
Is being human so special?
I feel it's a laudable twist.
If i could be something else maybe i'd be a cat
House ones have it made
Everything given
Nothing taken, life in the shade.
Or maybe i'd be a dog
In exchange for keeping you safe
Or being cute
I get food, water and a place
Sure i might get into it with
the other neighborhood pets.
But smarts and strength are rewarded
I think in that quest
I'd do well for myself
Yes.
But then i'd live on my knees
Not being able to eat when i please
Sigh
Aye,
there's the rub
Maybe i should wish for something
less realistic
People being more rational
You might think me idealistic,
But i dream of a day when people
Will coexist in harmonic totality.
And with each generation
less war or maladies.
The kids of my children's children
times fifty
living in a better world than me
with love more abundant than i can ever know
times infinity.

Side note; i really feel like i end up contradicting myself in a lot of what i write. LOL. I feel like my poems are a flow of thoughts i never knew there...
