Snarl...hissssssssss........
I saw an elephant's foot blown apart by a landmine this morning. On tv.
Last night I saw a guy crushed between two killer whales, and a grizzly bear ramming into a station wagon.
Last week, a couple of chimps ripped some guy's nuts off and bit his nose clean off his face.
The animal revolt is in the air. I feel it, and I am not just kidding here. I am not saying they are going to rise up in some sort of insurrection tomorrow or something. It's more of a feeling, a hunch. To put it in animal terms, there's a SMELL in the air. I think they are tired of being treated the way we treat them. I think they see us doing little or nothing to repair the damage we have done to the planet, and might take the task up themselves. In nature, change usually happens kind of gradually. Kind of slow. Slow, like the kind of slow mankind has no patience or attention spans for.
I like animals. I like them more than I like most people, to be honest. I have family and loved ones and probably about a couple dozen friends, and I love them first. But then it is just animals, and trees and rivers and moutains and shit. They don't love me back (except maybe my cats, Zazu and Noodles) but I don't need them to. I just want to know that they're there, and that I am leaving them alone, and that they have a clean and safe place to eat and reproduce and live life.
I don't blame them one bit for getting mad and crossing the line with people. I think more of it is going to happen. It is too bad people and kids and stuff will get hurt. If we would learn our lesson and figure out how to live IN the world, WITH the world instead of ON TOP OF EVERYTHING, maybe no one would have to get hurt.
I wish people would just stop once and a while and look outside, look around. You don't have to go on some friggin' nature hike or anything, don't have to go scuba diving, or wrestle a bear...just go about your usual human shit with your eyes occasionally darting to and fro, taking in the scene. It's pretty cool, and a lot of people are flat out missing it. You see it for a while, and you won't remember NOT looking at it.
'Cause I guarantee THEY are watching us. THEY have no choice.
dig my mood, huh? jeez. tired.
