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.

Our home in the stars so often ransacked
Homo-destructus had forced us to act
So quick to breed
Killed - not to feed
Our ancient ancestors counter-attacked

*****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 ever,
For being gigantic,
But for being human however,
I am apologetic
The burden...

*****Erectus*****Erectus
There was once a *****Erectus
Who said, “The World did not expect us,
But for better or worse,
We came along first,
Now Sapiens want to connect us.”...

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
Mercury soaring day and night
Nature breached
Humans shall burn, just...

*****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 the surface
of the earth, he climbed up the mountains,...

*****SapienceOnce again *****Sapience ready is, his superior intelligence to prove
By dropping his " Smart Bombs" on other humans for them to remove

prove how superior their stupidity is, ignoring the rest...

*****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 kinds of gestures he made to attract passersby did not...

*****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.
This is homelessness today....

*****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 to hunt me down
And I will eat you alive
I’ll gnaw...

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 innocent planets with cosmic velocity
In chunks of the solar system...

*****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 can't prove aliens exist,
human imagination is greatly influenced
by fiction...

*****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 Yisrael comes after Bani Israel?
Salam comes after shalom?
*****Ludens dances,
Homo...

This Utterly Amazing *****SapienHere ye! Here ye! Here ye!
I humbly present this poetic masterpiece in jest!
Four score, minus three hundred and sixty-five days ago
This handsome *****sapien took his first breath
Since that momentous day, the world has never been the same
However most people leave off the 'ien” leaving the phrase “*****sap”
Now that's downright mean and despicable I...
