"Being Human"

Have you ever thought
How lucky you are
To say you are
Human?

To be an ant means
To get stepped on.
It means gramps dyin’
In a raid by Pest Control.

To be a deer means
Your head getting mounted.
It means stuck in the grill
Of a ’57 Chevy at 50 mph.

To be a mouse means
You’re treated like a louse.
It means finding the gouda
Then suddenly being gone-ah.

To be a cow means
To be a Happy Meal.
It means being happy
Isn’t always happy.

To be a human means
To be alive.
It means we my die too
But with a greater chance of dignity.
