How come you’re so smart?
Kid, I’ve been around a really long time
As a matter of fact,
our kind has been around longer than just about anything
I’ve seen just about everything
Really?
Like what?
Well, I’ve seen weather
All kinds of weather
And lots of critters?
Yeah
At first there were just some bugs and spiders
Then some mice and rats
And some rabbits and bears and skunks
Then, all of a sudden, there were humans
And all hell broke loose
Why?
What did the humans do?
Well, they changed wolves into dogs
Rivers into lakes
And us into wood
They started using the planet like it was put there just for them
Act like they’ve got an extra one laying around
Why did they do that?
Why don’t they understand?
I don’t know
If they don’t figure out that they’re part of nature
Rather than just using nature
They probably won’t be around to see you grow up
