Literature Text
is humanity destined to stay true to our mammalian roots,
in which all of our current grievances lie?
on a natural scale, they are mere
necessary parts of survival.
but, are those sorrows and fears and angers we carry
a transcending darkness in all living things;
are the animals we come from just as evil as we?
fables teach children morality through animals
that talk, and bite, and feel.
is it just that we have snapped ourselves
out of the confusion,
to come reeling into a reality
that we truly don't want to face?
one that declares
"you cannot change";
one that says we are exactly like our
animalistic counterparts, and
we will never better ourselves beyond that?
what if the only reason we, as a race,
became more 'self-aware'
was to simply realize
that we are no better than the dirt we stand on?
just an idea
hope you like (:

You are fucking brilliant.
This is a devastating concept, but brilliant.
I mean I understand where you're coming from, all the old fables portraying human characteristics in animals and showing a blatant darkness. Yet somehow we take away from it "Well shit, that bad guy sure did learn!"
