Sapiens Poem by Darlan M Cunha

Here is Homo sapiens sapiens
in its domain of land sea and air
aware of its power to switch
electric currents and river courses
to spread rumors and make garbage
a totem - but not a taboo.

Here is the man who accumulates bones
in your constant vigil
he goes to the garage and the corner
with broken nerves he will
to the office, happy with the balance
on the stock exchange.

Here's Homo sapiens on sale,
under frank dependence on fear
here is man in his consumption.
