Awesome to see you back old friend!! Love this one. I always find it so sad on the evolutionary theory that we survived because of being the "fittest species". I really enjoyed the sarcasm in here and subtle truth. Always love your poetry!

SO happy to see you as well... I've missed a lot while I've been away! Yes... it's very sad what the implications of "survival of the fittest" means. Does it not seem like we serve two masters when we cling to the philosophy of death while simultaneously the virtues of Love and Kindness?

Yes, we have a Right to exist if we can survive Timothy. The next step is to survive with dignity, even when that necessitates brutal grace. I respect your philosophic poetry. J.A.B.

Survive with dignity... I like that, my friend. Though I do wonder what "right" we humans have to say things like "all life is sacred" if heaps of death is what supposedly got us here... it leaves me to wonder. Appreciated your kind and insightful comments, Justin... I can tell that you actually read it :)
