fiat_knox | What kind of species ARE we? (Reply)

Something I found myself musing upon early this morning.

We are ...

          ... a weed.

     ... A hardy perennial.

... An unwanted mutation

     of an otherwise benevolent species.

We are ...

     ... a virulent offshoot.

          ... an unsightly blight, a canker.

     an infection, which unlike

     its predecessors, reproduces

All.

Year.

Round.

We aren't a domesticated breed.

Nobody has adapted us

     for any paritcular function.

Nobody has tamed us,

     bred us into show breeds and pedigrees,

          and beasts of burden,

     or drones,

          or lab rats.

We are, above all,

     a freak;

          a sport;

     a bastard throw

          of the genetic dice of chance,

and in our haste

     to colonise,

we're destroying our home

     and ourselves.
