A New Species
He said to her:
People or people-like species
With better amygdala and hippocampus
To recognize only love and peace stimulus
With no thirst for blood in psyche
For any purpose whatsoever
Except medical surgery
Is the door to a advanced species---
We have to evolve this way
A further sway towards Christs
The preceding plural is important
In case we don’t want to get further shortened
By terror weapon
You belong to a new species, she said
Why? He was all questions in his big eyes
Your amygdala is not like ours
Your hippocampus belongs to showers
She was all love and praise
He was at a little unease but said
If we can environ our thoughts
With struggle for flowers without stones
We may have much less groans
Fewer aching bones
No battle zones to frighten
It is possible if we can make possible
The environment for a creative perception
With no terror of destruction
With the weapon of human-specific standards
Of our life and State and nation
She was silent but not vacant
The starlight wrote their stories
Of love dew and grass
Hopes filling in the glass
Don’t deprive and amass
No fragile treaties
To divide and rule the species
She and he
New dreams beside the time stream
A delicate query
A prospective thesis
Of a new species
Following the
Continuous mutations in our genes
Through aeons and aeons
That we have been walking on the earth
Essentially in mirth
