I am (version three)

Posted by andrew-evans on September 5, 2010 - 18:18

I am the greatest
predator in the world,
the smartest living thing,
I can manipulate simple tools
for more advanced use,
I can climb mountains
I can swim oceans,
I can destroy the world
with the push of a button.

I am the human race

Can't help but think the last line needs a full stop and even a line break to separate it from the rest, since it is such a powerful statement!

This reminds me of my College Biology teacher, who used to say 'Humans are the virus of the earth!' in doom-laded tones at regular intervals!

Thanks for the suggestion. It is very true though, we are everything bad that has happened to the planet, however we are also all the improvents, so it's all swings and roundabouts

Improvements? One might argue that one cannot 'improve' nature. Alter it, maybe.

Thats true, yes we can not improve the world, just alter it to suit us as humans
