Smarter Than Rocks

Smarter Than Rocks

Some of us believe

we are smarter than rocks

blades of grass bumble bees

sea turtles elephants tigers

whales environmentalists

scientists lovers of nature.

But what will still be here

when we are done 

destroying life with all of our

bombs carelessness guns

greed anger lack of love 

lack of empathy plain stupidity?

Rocks 

there will be rocks

proving how much smarter

they are than we are.
