Our Animal Kingdom Poem by Janice M Pickett

Why does man feel such conceit?
Does he not see what he really is?
Can he not tell the difference between
TO BE and BEING?

For just to be Brings peace
But being will always include trying
and Trying means competing with ones self
and applying effort to be what is dictated in the world
So why does man feel such conceipt?

Because man is the only animal
created in the image of God
and as such he should be worthy

But to be worthy
does not mean heroic or powerful
it means to be free in spirit like the animals of the wild
Free in our spirit and free in our ability to
share wisdom and love
Free simply

TO BE
