What are We?
Ashby Smith

What are we?
Animals
Or
A more intelligent species?
Do we fight to improve
Our fellow man?
Or do we fight to improve
Our own righteous hand?

By our actions
Are others hurt?
Helped?
Do we care?
Should we?
Sometimes.
But enough?

We must be animals
Fighting
Only to survive.

Oh how I long
To be wrong.
