We Act Like Earthworms Poem by Charles Tiffin Clegg

The worms take it in one end
then let it out the back
Birds are very much the same
and so are snakes and rats
In this world of animals
they keep what's wanted
excrete the rest

Humans do that too
in personal relationships
everywhere they go
We keep what's needed
The rest goes out the back
Its true with our desires
pleasure in, unwanted left behind

Superiority is good to have
inferiority is not
We are the ultimate in evolution
and frogs ant turtles not
We take in what we want
True for everything we want
the rest comes out the back

We are quite superior at this
Taking in what we want
The rest goes out the back
We are the highest form of life
We plagirised the earthworms so
Whether walking in the woods alone
or walking through the park
Their is a word of caution
watch out where you step
or later clean your shoes

We are so intelligent
with the cars, planes, and machines
No one has to watch a step
just use that energy
air is there to take
what's left is left behind
and oceans are so deep
We take the oil for energy
the rest just goes behind
no worries where we walk
our playing is care free

Now we can't breath just right
our products from ingestion
won't sink and simply float about
the world is just our toilet
