Animals
This is all we are. This is what we have become.
We are animals rabid, feral animals.
We did not start as animals, no, we are going to end as them.
We are humans We have souls and we are hungry.
We are starving to take power and control from those smaller than us those weaker than us.
We are as blind to the pain we cause others and the destruction we bring on the world as animals are blind to color.
The world is a beautiful, colorful place to humans and animals are unable to see you understand it's true beauty
so why is it that humans are the ones destroying it everyday?
Why.
Why is it that some animals’ only goals in life is to kill to harm others and destroy and tear down things that others so desperately built up.
We did not originate as animals.
It makes me marvel how we call gorgeous creatures of the wild, animals when we ourselves act worse than them.
"Humans" don't deserve our names to be glorified.

It is indeed ironic how we can better appreciate the beauty of Mother Earth, and yet we're actively destroying her for our insatiable greed.
I enjoyed reading your poem. Well done, and welcome to DUP!
