Our Soul's the Key
What sets a human apart from a dog,
we are both charming, cunning, and draw breath?
But dogs, unlike humans, live in a fog;
they're entirely oblivious to death.
Dogs only respond to their basic needs,
such as sex, shelter, water, food, and air.
For Man alone can comprehend His deeds;
because human beings are self-aware.
Dogs lack a conscience and soul to guide them;
therefore, they can't distinguish right from wrong.
And thus, can neither approve nor condemn;
they are content merely tagging along.
But humans see abstracts that dogs can't see,
realizing that our soul is the key.
