“The Human Animal (A Sonnet) The civilized know how uncivilized they are, The uncivilized insist on being deemed civilized. The victor knows the fallacy of being the victor, The wise knows there is no such thing as being wise. The real human is aware of their inhuman predispositions, While the inhuman fails to acknowledge all primitive bent. And there is no question of the rise of civilization, If there is no question of questioning the self. The animal is animal for it lacks the brain capacity, For self-correction beyond the need of self-preservation. But more animal than animal is the so-called human being, That despite having the brains, fails to act in ascension. It is no human that does not know how animal they are. The animal becomes human, the moment it becomes aware.”

“Are human beings noble like the lion? Or are they like the crocodile? I suppose it depends on the person. Many are like the crocodile, but there are some who are like the lion. Once there were more. But as a species we have become like the crocodile in our greed. Now we do not take things because we need them, but just to take them, or for sport which is wrong.”
