Best Homo Poems
*****DestructusApparently Soup finds the Latin word for ‘Human’ offensive;
about as ‘P.C. gone wrong’ as it’s possible to get. I have had to
include completely superfluous hyphens in order to get the word
accepted.

*****Not-So-SapiensHumanity’s first born child
Sits, wondering what to do
First Africa, then the world, the seven seas
And then space - the final frontier
He’s the first in line for world domination,
But first he’s got to put the competition
To extinction
A lion never apologised,
For being majestic
Nor will a blue whale...

Natures Miracles *****Sapiens Never MeasuredGround trembled
Houses fell, city mangled
Loss and Chaos bull having free run
Many deaths, overnight many born as new orphan
On Ritchers scale, quake measured by *****Sapien
Human destroying Nature on big scale
Natures Tit Tat tale
Wail trail
Global Warming bleeds

*****Sapience SapienceHe was born with a bushy round follicle-free head
and walks with two legs, because
he is a Neanderthal(1) mutant,
for he is a mutational product,
he is an android(2) not found in the evolutionary tree,
and that’s why he was so sad; he began to roam...

*****Sapiens Is That Race*****sapiens is that race
with a very high intelligence;
no, it didn't originate in space,
no, aliens never took residence!
If on the farthest planets there is
a new species, it's quite impossible
they will reach us in a thousands of years,
or less; but for now it's simply unthinkable!
Even science...

*****Sacer, An Accursed OneBefore knowing, he was turned into an invisible man
standing in the middle of a busy street.
Unmistakably, though his image reflected on the glass of the show
window no passersby noticed his presence or recognized him;
not even endowed him with the acknowledgement of his being.
All...

*****Ludens From WithinAs a play,
life moments and experiences,
antithetical to lore and summons.
Visiting the world by smiling and laughing.
All classrooms become living rooms.
Far from censorship,
the political narrow-minded.
A sizeable sanctuary serves as a library,
the school's wings swing.
Jews cling to jewelry,
Moslem clutches the monsoon,
heartfelt and engaged.
Bnei...

Cosmic Scare For the *****SapiensCOSMIC SCARE FOR THE *****SAPIENS
The shooting star across the span of the night sky
The blazing fiery trail of the burning meteorite
Through the thick atmosphere many can’t fly
Some fall causing craters of damage at impact site.
From the asteroid belt beyond Mars they all surge
Invade the...

*****Sapien, ManHe stood erect.
I don't know
if he would have kissed his mate
or patted his childrens' heads
when he set out from camp
to procure food.
But they were happy
when he returned provisioned.
I bought him rice and tuna at Wal-Mart.

*****Lupus Homini EstYou will not often find me
In amongst the fold
Being chased from the pen
Wherein your treasure lies
I will not clothe myself in sheep
I cannot be but that which I am
lone
I am wolf
If we are inclined to meat
I will grant what is yours
But choose...
