Lessons
Humans, top of the food chain, the best of the best,
Intelligence and tools, with which we have been blessed
Creatures, superior to all, or so we say,
Yet humans have imperfect traits, to our dismay
So we may need a lesson, some help to be enhanced,
Look to other animals, you’ll see it in one glance
Beings we view as lower, inferior, and vain,
From which we have, an abundance of wisdom to gain
Behold, the mighty dolphin, energetic and wet,
Every day they do something, some humans forget
They live to have fun, playing and jumping has no end,
Humanity should loosen up, something to append
We need to stop and smile, and enjoy the world we know,
Sometimes we should act like dolphins, and just let it go
Next, an animal that’s close, a friend like no other,
Dogs are so loyal and devoted to another
To a dog, the needs of their owner always come first,
They stay by their side through the best and the worst
This devotion dogs have, could be good for humans too,
A dependable person, a good friend through and through
Elephants could educate us well about respect,
Appreciation can sometimes be what we neglect
These massive creatures give their elders a lot of awe,
We try to do the same, overseeing is our flaw
Before we’re superior there are lessons to be learned,
We have to keep on working so our title can be earned
Humans, top of the food chain, the best of the best,
From our wild teachers, we learn how to progress
