It is a perpetual paradox
that humans
are the most inhumane
of all creatures.

No horse would kill another,
simply for having a different shade of fur.

No dog would travel round the world,
to pick a fight for a reason it did not know.

No cat would prance through the forest,
as if it were the only thing alive.

No ape would start a social war,
over another wanting as a mate
something it would not have chosen for itself.

No. Humans do.
Humans are the only ones,
sentient and stupid.
Humans are the only ones
capable of being inhuman.
Just something I wrote a few years ago, but that had been lost in a forgotten notebook.

It's here now.
