Too Arrogant To Notice

Beasts who walk upright 
More cruel than their four footed companions
We kill for ridiculous reasons
They only kill for food

Beasts we are, we humans
And arrogant
Many believing we are superior to others
Some professing to be queens and kings, possibly gods

The four footed ones are humble, 
loving, giving, they have compassion
Their empathy should shame us all
But we are too arrogant to notice.

Well said Caren, we are indeed the cruelest animal, something I try point out in my poems, but some people are indeed peaceful souls, if it wasn’t for them, I think humanity would have gone under a long time ago, cheers David
