We are guests of this earth, we live and then we die. Humans are as inconsistent as the moon, waxing and waning never staying the same. We are guests of this earth and have forgotten our manners as our stay has increased. No longer do we tread lightly or consider the movements of beasts or insects, no longer do we step out into the wilderness with fear or anxious anticipation. Our society has evolved, created a firearm for protection. A monster at it's best ! A monster with two faces, Jerkyll and Hyde ! .
We say,"I fear not the great mountain for I hath conquered it, I fear not the great beast for I hath killed it and its young and have brought it home as trophy. I fear not the sky nor this land for I hath made everything between it my home, I am protected !" I say, in our ignorance and arrogance only, are we protected !
Someday, someday when planet earth is replenished of mans' harmful foot that great mountain will fall and crush us, destroying everything we call ours, someday the successors of beasts will rise up against us and when that day comes, when it comes we will all be saddened that we had not been better guests.
