oh you who prize your human birth
in this your current stay on earth
think back on your forgotten lives
in dusty caves and buzzing hives
in windswept trees and scattered heaps
in icy rivers and ocean deeps
in drafty stables and muddy pens
in lowly lairs and desperate dens
i see a frown upon your brow
perhaps that is enough for now
and so i pause - but anyhow
remember you were once a cow
*
remember you were once a beetle
remember you were once a snail
and if you were really lucky
maybe you were a blue whale
you may think my statements silly
you may think my musings odd
but if you have a little patience
some day you may be a god
if you do, try to remember
the trillions who await their turn
see their faces in the cosmos
and know you still have much to learn
