I who see the world from above
find it hard to get used to its pettiness.
I have heard it said
You love humble creatures?
Chatter of apes!
It is easier for me
to believe in Your greatness.
I feed on exalted things
and I rather like
to see myslef closer to Your heaven.
Humility!
Chatter of apes!
Amen
Carmen Bernos de Gasztold (1919 - 1995) France
