Hierarchy.
Intellectual
hierarchy.
Sapiens
the wise.
To a
point.
Infinite
scale,
finite
knowledge,
achievement.
Self
impr­essed,
no
reason.
Big
dog,
small
pound.
Accumulated
wisdom
minusc­ule.
Negligible
on creation’s
scale.
Barely
out of
the trees.
Millennia
before
pure
knowledge
attainment.
Before
enlight­enment.
Immature!
Perspective.
None!
Humility.
None!
Planet
ravag­ed
with
brutally.
Vicious
little
beasts.
Power
hungry.
Still tadpoles
in a
puddle.
Perhaps
soon to
dry up.
Puff of
smoke,
nothing
more
but a
squeak
in the
endless.
