Primacy
There is no
Judgement in
Nature, no right
And wrong, no lies
Or hatred, only the
Legitimacy of survival,
The struggle of hunger
And the fight to continue ...
Singularly, and as a species.
We worry so about chaos and
The return to savagery, but which
Is more brutal, to kill for the sake
Of survival, or to kill for the purpose
Of acquisition and greed? We observe
The "cold indifference" of the life-and-
Death struggle of the less "enlightened"
Creatures with an air of superiority and
Dominance, yet is it more remarkable to
Dominate for the sake of survival, or for the
Sake of selfishness and exploitation? Perhaps
A return to our origins and the basics of survival
Is what we need. It could certainly be argued that
Our intelligence and technology and dominance has
Not been a good thing for our world OR it's creatures,
And it could be easily argued that it hasn't TRULY been
For the benefit of our OWN species, either ... just look at
The world we have created, and the scars we have left on
Ourselves, our beautiful planet, and everything and everyone
ON it.
