When push comes to shove humans will do whatever it will take to survive. |
-Transidentifiable- by Keaton Foster Animal is Animal was All are beast All are creatures Kill or be killed Eat or starve Live or die Nothing between Life as it may seem Not to be believed Transidentifiable A made up term An amalgamation Of individual words To make a point To poke you in the rib To get you to ask A deeper preponderance Of what if? Are we humans Are we animals Or are we as always Someplace between Based upon need Based upon survival I’ve seen people Ones deemed reasonable Become unhinged Become more creature Than any that lives In the deepest Darkest of woods When an animal Is cornered Put in a place Of greater resistance Threatened with Annihilation That animal That being Will become lessor Of who they are And more of What they are not Change is a catalyst But so is the fear of Such change We all want What we have We all wish To protect What is ours We will kill If need be We will destroy If deemed necessary Transidentifiable To me it means That in our Darkest time of need We will be What we need to be What is required To ensure survivability We will become lesser In one way And greater In every other We will stand up To defend What we deem as ours Greatly hurting those who Dare challenge us And the ways in which We feel life should be All across nature In every realm In all spectrums Life is fragile Coexistence is mired Deep within a balance That we as human beings Are incapable of seeing As anything less Than a novelty And as anything more Than a hindrance We are without question The only species That cares for life Exceedingly less Transidentifiable In the name of ourselves And all they we wish To hold and protect We would destroy Lay waste Obliterate Everything and anyone In the name of ourselves And our own interest Will always do what it takes No matter what… Transidentifiable Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
