Monsters are Real

To the animal kingdom, we are the monsters.  We are the ones killing for sport, we are the ones destroying the atmosphere, the lakes and rivers.  To each other, we smile as a greeting, the animals see us showing our teeth, which is to them a sign of aggression.  We hunt deer from up in the trees and build duck blinds to shoot at passing ducks, which is another form of hiding under the bed, to grab them as they saunter on by. 

We construct arenas to battle each other.  It is not the animal kingdom creating  noise pollution, starting fires or hunting things to extinction.  Only the monsters engage in that behavior.  We alter the weather patterns by covering the surface of the planet with cement and only after do we consider the consequences.  We build massive housing projects, knowing there isn’t available water to support it. 

We allow technology to take the lead, following blindly wherever it takes us, giving our houses and cars control over what happens next, never once considering that in the evolution of monsters technology could be next.
