Humans As Ornaments
I like to see humans in their craziness
Hunting, looting other beings their lives
Bodies, horns of animals are cut and used
Ivory, egg shells, tortoise shells, flowers
wood carvings brutally got for ornaments
There is a being greater than humans
He is on the way to earth to build a home
Which part of humans shall the being
cut, modify to build and decorate rooms?
Is there a part good for ornamentation?
And when he comes capturing and killing
Humans in their helpless life as elephants
With their extinction at the doorway
Which creature will conserve humans species?
Let’s think now as the time may be within
Whatever humans do to wild creatures
May be done to them in the remote times
