No. 287: Oh, The Humanity II

Study humanity
and you will find
we are the one thing
we have on our mind.
This excessive obsession with
our own kind
leaves the rest of “Creation”
in a bit of a bind.

Ignoring what was 
learned by Copernicus,
we persist in insisting 
it's all about us.
Jews, Christians, Muslims
point to the Bible
(a text widely seen
as unreliable)
which says in Genesis 1:26,

we're in God's image, 
his divine Xerox®.
This grants us “dominion”.
(In our opinion.)

If you study humanity
here's what to expect.
Delusions of agency. . .
and of effect.
