IN THE INTEREST OF FAIRNESS
It appears that man”kind”
is more the problem
than the solution
to the ever increasing loss of rain forests,
the polar ice caps
our polluted oceans, rivers and streams,
and the disappearance of the majestic species of the animal kingdom.
I wonder . . .
if nonhuman animals were in charge of the thinning out
of grossly-over-populated man”kind,”
who is the criminally-careless destroyer
of this earth
how would they choose to handle the “inconvenient situation” ?
would they club us to death,
indiscriminantly kill the mother’s of nursing babies,
destroy our communities, drive us from our homes
take away our food so that we simply died of starvation
or perhaps set iron traps that broke our bones,
leaving us there in terror and overwhelming pain
to either die alone
or to be fed upon by another species.
Or would they scare us in mass groups
so that in a desperate act of survival,
we ran together into large nets
left to die in mass prisons.
We might be excellent specimens
in a laboratory
for understanding the effects
of greed and indifference
on all of creation
Perhaps they would kill us just for the fun of it,
once dead, in ridiculous pose, sit upon our backs
and have their photos taken of the grizzly prize
awaiting pending posting
to their Facebook pages.
I don’t think so.
The Animal Spirits
live at a much higher level
of consciousness
than this.

We should all remember what comes round goes round!
Yes. And in destroying them and the world around us, we destroy ourselves. Thanks for visiting. ~G
Bitter, angry and direct. I’m rubbing off on you 😉
I normally charge for that (rubbing that is)!
As a panda I not only like this concept, but may visit my cousins the polar bears to see what we can kick-start.
Nice message sir. Which only leaves it for the pedant in me to say that majestic is with a J.
Rule ~ Thank you for your presence, the gratuitous rub and free editing services. Let me take this opportunity to say, ‘madam’ ,. . . and please don’t take this praise as “Sychophantaceous” . . .that your writing has motivated me not only to begin to more honestly and fearlessly speak my mind, but also to become more aware of my proofreading. Thus, the word majestic is now properly spelled, although personally, I like the G better than the J. In re-reading, I corrected a few other typos and some subtle alterations in flow were made as well. Your posts are continually on my radar and I look forward to the next drop of a well crafted word from you.
~G (aka, Air on G)
Thank you for your high praise. I will take it in its intended spirit.
I’ve removed some earlier posts, but I started very warily too, and it’s been great to get such positive feedback to my fumes and poems.
All that said, please never leave the house and find real talent to compare me too!
I look forward to watching you blossom even further 🙂
