To Be Human MAG
The forest birds caw and the monkeys climb through the
overgrown trees. The aroma of flowers is sweetly
overwhelming. Bees buzz and rodents scamper across the
ground. You can't see them, but they are there, beneath the
thick underbrush. All is good, all is at peace in the fury
of nature.
A storm is coming. God's wrath is felt. The forest
burns and a new challenge begins. The ashes of the forest
turn to fields where antelope spring from waterhole to
waterhole. Lions stalk their prey and the breeze blows the
tall grass.
A new danger lurks, its body frail, its teeth weak, and
it is slow, slow as honey dripping from the hive. This
weak, frail, slow creature is deceiving, however, for it has
power, the power to mold the world, the potential to mold
the heavens
As I stand before my creator, I imagine what that time
and place must have been like, and I know, that world would
still be here if it were not for us. Would that be better?
I don't know.
