What is this pride you swallow yourself in?
You think there is grandeur in your being
You think you are extraordinary for knowing
How to rub two stones and see fire
On a cold night.
Oh, go see the bird that knows how to warm herself
Go see the fish that swims through oceans to give birth
Go see the lizard that waits an eternity to catch its prey
Go see the mighty elephants that never let their kin walk alone
Go see the tree that gives you so much, for nothing
Go see the restless river that lets you survive
You think you are a virtue
You think you are benevolence
Oh what pride were you drowned in?
When you thought ‘humanity’ makes humans.
