We make things 

As a species

We create things

Out of species' 

Like when we made us some dogs

Out of wild Grey Wolves

Or when we made us some pigs

Out of Anatolian Boars

We can even make us ourselves

Some boys out of girls

We make things

As a species

We create things

Out of species'

We all tend to do this

As a species

Make things

Out of species'... 

Every Son

Every Daughter

Every Mother 

Every Father

We all do tend to affect,

   everything that surrounds us,

Tends to affect everything that we do

And if there ever existed only one rule

It's that there never existed only one rule...

There are things that do make us
And of those things we make things
And no one really knows what this means

Loved the imagination of the imagery of the hogs to boars and boys to girls, etc...

This was a neat read. Reminded me a little of a poem I wrote... I think it’s either called ‘growing hungry’ or something in the title relating to existence maybe? Idk it’s been a while- but I could definitely relate to your poem because I felt like I’ve had similar thoughts before 🙂

The poem I was thinking of is called “evolutions impact”

[Andrew Nelson Stewart]

Created to design it's own destination, created to do what it's design to do for the greater good or to facilitated life but still messy with nuances of life. Marcus Aurelius said once " To do and not to do. What we were designed for. That's the goal of all trades, all arts, and what each of them aims at, whereas to respect your own mind to prize it. That will leave you satisfied with your own self, well integrated into your own community and in tune with the gods as well." I love the imagery and how each line follows with powerful messages of hope,pain , and truth. keep being awesome sincerely your friend in writing and life :)

[Gaurav]

this is truly a grand imagination and perfect description how endless cycle has it been for creation where supreme or unknown innovate and we discover

This subject feels new to me. The words you chose made the topic relevant. We are a species who makes things out of other species. It is a powerful image and you did a great job with the examples.

I loved:

"Like when we made us some dogs
Out of wild Grey Wolves
Or when we made us some pigs
Out of Anatolian Boars
We can even make us ourselves
Some boys out of girls"
and

"We all do tend to affect,
everything that surrounds us,
Tends to affect everything that we do
And if there ever existed only one rule
It's that there never existed only one rule..."

[Poetic Beauty]

There are some deep thoughts within this piece and has my mind thinking about species

[Fairy Khan]

Powerful use of imagery. Keep up the good work.

[K]

Ah, good ole Waylon Jennings.
I have to say though. My favorite line from this was we can make ourselves from boys out of girls.

Reproduction is a wonderful thing. But, prolonged practice is even better!

[Ase]

but since we're all just star dust ashtrays floating in a space toilet it doesn’t matter.... making this out of that it's all just the universe rearranging the furniture,

[Davidgeo]

I think that's a fair assessment, rearranging the furniture I mean. All matter that does or will ever exist was already made a long time ago. But to say it doesn't matter what we do with the time we personally have with that matter is kinda stupid. No offense, but, to internalize that kind of logic defeats the purpose of existence in the first place... you might as well stop breathing if you truly believe that. Which you don't, even if you want to pretend that you do with all that you have... you wouldn't be here commenting if that was even close to true. There is a way to be dark without contradicting yourself... I hope you find it.

[Lea Sheryn]

Very good. We all make things. If we didn't, we would get bored.

[Davidgeo]

Not just that we'd get bored... we wouldn't exist if that wasn't built into us via evolution. Try just sitting there for the rest of your life... tell me that feel's natural.

[Lea Sheryn]

Truthfully, it doesn't feel natural at all. Being compelled to do something keeps us all looking forward.

[Davidgeo]

Health and a general purpose... that's really all you need to be happy I think. Everything else is just s**t we do to fill the time until it runs out.

[Lea Sheryn]

I agree. There are so many distraction. We should focus on the important things in life.

[Davidgeo]

You should smoke some grass... or do a dab of fine hash oil. I've found that unimportant things are easier to notice being unimportant when you're stoned.

Interesting read and imagery helped contrast some of the differences in species. Great read. I really enjoyed the format of this poem and how the lines flowed, with kind of a rebound back to previous lines.
