Sentient Being

I am a sentient being

I know what makes me tick

Greed, hatred and injustice

Are the poisons that make me sick

​

I am a sentient being

Marching a repainted line

Between welcoming each new day

And expecting humanity’s decline

​

I am a sentient being

With memories, hopes and scars

Sometimes I wonder

If cows are from Jupiter and bulls from Mars

​

I am a sentient being

Part of the human family

We’re unique and so clever

The only species that kills recklessly

​

I am a sentient being

But I’m beginning to doubt

If it is better to know

That there’s more than one way out

​

I am a sentient being

With no status nor position

Needing to concede

There’s no vaccine for the human condition
