What truly separates animals and humans apart?
We **** for food
We indulge in love
We act hanus and lewd
We argue, push, and shove

What truly makes us special, why are we so smart?
We still repeat mistakes
Chase money like our tails
We play with poisonous snakes
Just because it may help our sales

What truly separates the beating of the human heart?
We choose to hurt
We refuse to give
At night we lay inert
We didn't choose to live

One real difference I can see, we consciously create ART
Words procured in a particular fashion
Linking generations and cultures together
sparking empathy, and sincere compassion
Reminding us we're all birds of the same feather
