humans are disgusting
and don’t like themselves much
and create religions and taboos
to avoid each other’s touch
humans give off bad aura
confined together in small spaces
their bodies tend to be ugly
and even more so their faces
inside each human brain
are dreams quite sad to see
to be famous and beloved
throughout all eternity
for being a nice person
but even more for well formed features
life is a mocking classmate
but death is the best teacher
I'd love to add this poem and the illustration into an anthology to be published next year. The anthology will be about the human race and titled 300K (Years of Us). Through Beakful, in October 2018. See on the blog for more details or on the Facebook page.
