I AM A THINKING BEAST

I AM A THINKING  and laughing BEAST

For my delicious  and luxurious feast

I kill a beautiful  c**k , peacock or a mute goat

And enjoy myself eating the meat

Unlike a tree I can’t give fruit

Flower, or even a root

My ways are rather brute

Though  my words may be cute

Unlike the great Minerva tower

I don’t live for ever

Sometimes I think of  everlasting God

But I don’t hesitate to become a great fraud

God has given me the unique gift to speak

So the most important matters I LEAK

I am the only animal which kills its own race

And change my ideals at an alarming pace

Unlike a gentle cow or a sheep for others I don't give milk

Not like a mulberry warm I can’t give silk

Many lies I can shamelessly tell

If I don’t like anyone I continuously yell

I have the ability to destroy the universe

 But I can construct my views  in wonderful verse

Though I can’t create a new living thing

I am called a great human being

Well I am sure you are a great human beng as well as a great poet. Being human is a great resposibility; we are gven the power to destroy as well as create.

I like the honesty in the poem. Man believe he is in-charge of all things. Mother nature cannot be controlled. I like the use of meat to make the point in the poem. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

A rather dark appraisal of humans here! Unfortunately, often this is the case. Good rhyming throughout. Lydi**
