Ignorance and Intolerance

So you think you are superior species…

You think animals are below your
 standards, that they are wild beast…

Well, you belong to that species
  “Animal” you are not, a vegetable…

Do you think, you are better than, 
the other person standing or sitting 
next to you…

Well, you are not, we are but 
one race, one family and that is 
the Human Race…

Remember these animals don’t see 
or know the difference, a snow leopard
 is the same as the African leopard; 
the white tiger is related to the 
Bengal tiger and so on…

So why does the human race see
 peoples as different? 

We are all related 
and should be able to get 
along with each other…
