'The Difference' Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

'The Difference'



Animals think,
and animals react

Animals sleep,
and animals attack

Animals eat,
and animals mate

Animals fly,
and animals wait

Animals feel,
and animals cry

Animals sicken,
and animals die

Animals come,
and animals go

Animals watch,
and animals know

Animals stalk,
and animals deceive

But animals lack faith
—and cannot believe

Good poem. This human is still an animal but believes. We may be surprised one that they actually do believe but we have not realised that or dont know because our reference is human misunderstanding. Time will tell.

" ...But animals lack faith —and cannot believe" That's the only problem with the human beings... though animals by birth and by other qualifiers... they pretend to believe only to ditch in the end... which is not found amongst other species…/ animals... since... They live by instincts... Yes…! . Raw instincts...and that is justice... Thanks.
