How am I aware? When did I become aware? What is aware? Does a lion know they are a lion? What do they call themselves? Does the Zebra know it is only a Zebra? Does it know it's cause of death is a Lion round the neck? As it bleeds does it remember it's family? Does the Lion remember its first **** Do the buzzards have an opinion on the situation? As they argue over dinner do they also debate? Yes. The birds squak " if humans are aware, why aren't they aware of us?" The giraffes chime in " why do they pretend our home is a wasteland?" The monkeys holler "humans build concrete caves to hide from awareness" The hyenas laugh " what stupid animals!" The leopard whispers "aren't we all?"
