Who is this human beast?
Are we mere consumers?
Grappling for pleasure and ease?
Or are we partners in creation?
Can we see the abundance around us
or only hear the gurgling of our bellies?
Will we share the bounty with all,
whether creature or human,
or simply grasp for what is and
like a toddler declare it mine?
Enough my friends! Enough!
There is enough pride and gluttony
to destroy the abundance we grasp.
But there is also enough grace and mercy
to save us all.
Where is your soul human beast?
Creation groans in this waiting.
How shall we side?
