For the first time in darkness eyes twinkled
I discovered charm, it held my pupils
Hostage
Nerves sounded out alarms we all know well
To dampen hands and make hearts swell.
For the first time a smile of sweetness, warm like the sun
Surrounded emotion in a magic cape
The mind whispered- “run”
But my shoe laces lay undone,
Caught on twinkling stars and thoughts of true love
Eyes flashed, steaks of colors painted the air
Red, what was felt
Yellow, pondered cards dealt
Green, how we acted
Blue, what we wanted
In purple we flaunted
What we found, for a while kept veiled
Then, blasted from tree tops to distant sails.
From right here right now, until the future avows
Our surrender, enthralling eyes promised vows.

Walking around like a pack of animals
Following each other
copying what we see,
What really separates us from animals?

We talk, we think, we try to explain
but we also follow, we do as we told, we believe what is said
We work, we build, we have fun
but I'm still not seeing what truly separates us from animals

The only thing that I see different is our power
anything different we try to hurt, **** or experiment on
if any animal behaved like a human
what do you think we would do to it?
We'd experiment, we'd ****, we would torture
or put it on TV and turn it in to a celebrity.

So I ask what truly separates us from animals?
