Animal Nature Quotes

“Handcrafted Humanity Sonnet 95

Nature always tries to trick us most strongly,
Into being a filthy bunch of egotistical morons.
If we stand true to our conviction of community,
No cockeyed canine is gonna dictate our terms.
Survival of the fittest is the motto of animal,
Sacrifice for the helpless is the motto of human.
The decision is to be made by none but you,
What'll you spend your life as - animal or human!
Let's not spend another day with cold shoulder,
Let us rather put all of our shoulders together.
Only then we will be a tad stronger than history,
And rise as the mightiest descendant of Nature.
To conquer ourselves is to conquer space and time.
We live the fullest when we live as people's lifeline.”
