Homo Sapiens

David Damara

Free verse
Homo sapiens, according to them is the perfect creature on earth
They can create planes, rockets, robots, and tanks
But the perfection of Homo sapiens is only in the shackles of their own brains
Even one little thing called ego they can't control
Homo Sapiens kill each other, bring each other down, and each other just because of ego
If other animals have egos like Homo Sapiens, they have the right to destroy this modern civilization
Many of them are even extinct because of the ego of Homo Sapiens, have they ever declared war on us?

About this poem

This short poem is about humans who often use their egos to kill each other. Even though they come from the same ancestor
