we raised the first rib, as a sign of dominion
we placated no god as we devoured our kin
we crawled in the swill, the ignoble race
Incontinent pride, our prevailing trait
our pedagogue! a blind discord!
insatiable violence begets more violence
our sapience, our pedigree,
our quality callous enmity
We chastise, belittle our ward
blindly cast conjecture
bipedal apes cower in droves
we are not worthy of our own pardon
Tarred with the same brush
we choke on our own words
marred by our puerile
sense of self worth
'Humanity'. - We do not regard the animals as moral beings. But do you suppose the animals regard us as moral beings? - An animal which could speak said: 'Humanity is a prejudice of which we animals at least are free.' (Friedrich Nietzsche, Daybreak: Thoughts on the Prejudices of Morality.
