Human Squander

Human Squander Cold day on my walk I needed to pee, it happens often when you are old, but there were ants about I couldn’t pee on them, lowly as they might be they are still living things and one has to show respect; the unspoken logic of dignity. But not all human evacuations are wasteful, as a child on the farm we used human waste fertilize potatoes and carrots field and reaped great abundance from a grateful soil. But I did pee up against an olive tree a pale looking tree that needed all the help it could get. Self-respect is vital it is an unwritten law and those who breaks lose their humanity the thin line between man and beast, I think it is more worthy to chop a man’s head off then urinate on his corps; as death self perpetuating and does not help to accentuate to point.
