Our Soul's the Key

What sets a human apart from a dog;
we are both alive, and we both 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.
But only Man can comprehend His deeds;
because human beings are self-aware.
Dogs have no conscience or soul to guide them;
therefore, they can't distinguish right from wrong.
And thus, can't accuse, approve or condemn;
they are content merely tagging along.
But humans see beyond what dogs can see,
and thus, understand; our soul is the key.
