The Greatest Killers Poem by Francis Duggan

Some dangerous life forms do spring to mind
But the World's most dangerous is human kind
We are the greatest killers Planet Earth has known
When it comes to taking of life we are in a class of our own
When it comes to taking of life none with us to compare
A fact of which everyone does seem aware
Of the World's most dangerous we lead the way
By far more dangerous than the largest beast or fish of prey
Of spiders and snakes some people live in fear
And others do scream out when a mouse is near
But our kind are the greatest killers though that is not a proud boast
or something that one to could drink a toast
And when it comes to killing it seems sad to recall
That humans are the greatest killers of all.
