Guest Rezure Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 (conversion confusion, this is actually the first post in this thread) The Conversation HOMO SAPIENS: Australopithecus robustus! The famous protohuman brute! How is your life? What's it like being Thoughless, emotionless and mute? AUSTRALOPITHECUS ROBUSTUS: "Australopithecus" - what denigration! "An evolutionary aberration" Pretend you are special! Pretend you are new! But we, we're just as human as you. H.: But what of encephalization? Our brains - the finest in the land. They house all Our thoughts and feelings Don't judge what you can't understand. A.: We've been around for millions of years We silenced our laughter, and swallowed our tears Your brins may be bigger But from my point of view We're not any less human than you. H.: But what of our communication? We have our tongues at our command Language is that Which makes us Human. Don't judge what you can't understand. A.: You don't listen to us and we do not speak. But we fear what you fear and seek what you seek. You think we've no conscience But if you only knew You would see we are as human as you. H.: But what of our civilization? Look at the world we've wrought by hand These are the things That make us Human. Don't judge what you can't understand. A.: You drive a Suburban, you shower and shave But your gun is a hand-axe, your highrise - a cave. Our technology is basic Inventions are few That doesn't make us less human than you. -- Armageddon In a hurry for the meeting Waiting for the bus Time is precious... Time is fleeting... Time is fleeing us. -- Three attempts at translating the Viper couplet from Boris Zahoder's "Animal Couplets." 1. It's been a long time since I've met a viper Can't really say that I have missed them, either. 2. I haven't met a viper, in many many years I must admit the time apart hasn't cost me any tears. 3. I hadn't seen a viper, I began to ponder But absence doesn't always make the heart grow fonder Edited by: Rezure at: 4/23/02 10:42:40 am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
