the proud creature breathes and lives <br />and all it does is copy, copy, copy, copy; <br />there is so much thinking <br />done before and after <br />there is so much that points to <br />its original mind; <br />yet the creature wants to be a copycat <br />wants a servile life <br />wants a copy of pronouncements <br />and revelations <br />it can believe in <br />and merely repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat; <br />so it can wobble its head in complacency <br />and eye-scan the world in judgment<br /><br />Raj Arumugam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-proud-creature-breathes-and-lives/
