Animals are wild, instinctual and free,
Humans civilized, with minds that see.
One lives by nature's decree,
The other builds, for eternity.

Humans man, with wisdom's view.
One roams with a primal grace,
The other shapes, time and space.

Humans reason, thoughts secure.
One survives with a natural flow,
The other thrives, with what they know.

The other shapes, with a guiding hand.

Humans are intellect, thoughtful and near.
One follows the primal call,
The other reasons, seeking all.

Humans, minds that must endure.

Humans, dreams beyond compare.

Humans, cities they have healed.
Both together, world we share,
In their balance, life we bear.
