Wonder

I have always wondered
why we take up so much space.

Why we see the world as ours
and not one to share.

I have always wondered at our assured ability
to distinguish weed from flowers.

Why our right to live is greater than
the crow’s, the mosquito’s, the mouse’s.

Why does a human being’s attachment
separate a loved dog from a stray?
What meaning has our actions
when the executor writes the rules?

What right have we to dominate?

A wave is a wave, is a wave.

Dare I say, that life is life.
