    Are we better than animals
    With or civilizations and high-rises
    Yet we are too strained to
    Appreciate beautiful sunrises

    Are we better than animals
    With our beautiful communities
    Yet we are too unappreciative
    Of people except when
    We are so needy

    Are we better than animals
    With our lies and manipulations
    Even written contracts can be twisted
    Along with their
    Meaning and stipulation

    Are we better than animals
    With our love and faithfulness
    To one wife
    Till we hit it big, get a promotion
    And then make the wife believe
    It is her fault for all the marital commotion

    Are we better than animals
    With our discriminating tastes
    We find difference among our fellow man
    And we separate ourselves
    Into different castes

    Are we better than animals
    With our science and technology
    We use our advances to destroy each other’s
    Lovely culture and history

    Are we better than animals
    Or are we simply glorified beasts
    Who were given the gift of brains
    Which we misuse and lead
    People, neighbors, friends, lovers
    To beat upon each other
    In our very streets

    Are we better than animals
    Did the shastras get it wrong?
    Are we at the bottom of
    Species evolution
    Because it seems at the very top
    That us humans do not belong

    We have all the chance to grow but we chose not to or believe our little achievements as most valuable no matter how we get that.

    I had many dogs while growing up... females were the best ... yes bitch*es were the best... determined loving and motherly... brave to fight with males when puppies were small and strict to shoo pups away when they grew up enough.

    I dont know why we attach such cheap meaning to bitch*es when they are actually awesome...

    We humans think we are a better species and everyother species lives to serve us...I dont think birds are paying emi thou.

    My favorite film all time is Wall E.

    Ugh: I put a star but forgot to remove a letter, it still makes a full word dosnt it :confused:

    We humans have lots of learning and growing to do.

    Perhaps then we can move out of Kali Yuga soon.

    Lol I like your post.

    The term b1tch3s is used to put down women.

    Women and men are equal and different. These so-called men are threatened by the happiness of women.
