Mirror Test

Written by C Hues

Dolphins, corvids, and great apes won't fail
We extirpate Earth---and then taunt and jest
Burn the planet; preach of Hell
We ain't pass the mirror test.

An animal protects its place
It knows in its sagacious mind
Us Ubermensch, the human race
We over-farm, destroy, and bind.

And thus we are the greatest
A speck in time---yet so supreme
If heaven had a waitlist
We wouldn't make it in a dream.
