HUMAN?


Stand there ready Ready for the next move Teeth clinched, claws bare What will you do? As you both growl and hiss Never knowing if you will miss You behave like animals, what human is this? To use your words and not your fist, this intellect was your gift A mouth with venom traded for a tongue with words Fist for creating, not destroying Human or animal, which are we?
