HUMAN?

Stand there ready
Ready for the next move
Teeth clinched, claws bare
What will you do?
As you both growl and hiss
Never knowing if you will miss
You behave like animals, what human is this?
To use your words and not your fist, this intellect was your gift
A mouth with venom traded for a tongue with words
Fist for creating, not destroying
Human or animal, which are we?
