Feeding Clifford

(It really is odd that humans consider themselves the superior creature of Earth.  We come up short in so many things.  Still, it has got me wondering how other creatures perceive the planet and their place in it.)

Do cats believe
They are the chosen
Because their claws retract

Do giraffes believe|
They are Earth’s center
Because they have the longest necks

Do spiders believe
They are God’s favorite
Because they can spin webs

Why do humans believe
They are the highest form
When they lack what others have

We brag about our minds
They are the most evolved
Dividing us from the faunal rabble

Yet does this make us higher
Than the stronger bear
Or the faster hummingbird

We can change our world
Which we typically destroy
Believing we have the holy right

Our fanatic actions
In the name of human need
Cause harm to the global garden

So why are we superior
When in countless ways
We are naturally inferior

Do all animals believe
They are the chosen species
Because this thought is a simple fact of living?
