status in the natural world
Eagles, hawks, falcons
Killer whales, sharks, barracuda
Crocodiles, pythons, dragons
Lions, tigers, leopards
Polar bears, grizzly bears, wolves
What is it we feel about them
It isn’t fear
We admire them
First order carnivores
Apex predators
Ten thousand years ago
We were part of the club
Now we stand apart
Our brains and our technology
Has made us
Super predators
Yet we cannot soar with an eagle
Nor swim with a shark
We don’t see in the dark
And the only scent we smell
Is the stink of our garbage, and
The rot of our status in the natural world
