Compared To Us Poem by Phil Soar

When dogs pick up a scent it drives them crazy
In comparison our sense of smell is lazy
A whale can exchange a sound with family miles away
We have to use a telephone, to call friends far away
An eagle soars into the air with consummate ease
Having seen its food from high among the tallest trees
To soar like them we need the help of mechanical things
Iron birds with powerful jets and monstrous wings
We are well aware of how we use our senses too
But none compare to the way that nature sees them through
