“Who’s” versus “the whats”

a curious game of chance.

One made by God,

the other, circumstance.

 

One has a conscience,

which came with Its very Soul.

the other one has it not.

it was not part of its mold.

 

One can think and reason,

and It can rightly judge from wrong.

the other is inanimate,

that is the nature of its song.

 

One was created sacred,

flesh to flesh, muscle to bone.

the other is invented from need –

a chair, a government, a telephone.

 

One can show compassion

and make that connection of love.

the other has no idea of them,

not even of our Father Above.

 

a strange event is beginning to unfold,

one is forgetting about the Other.

thinking that “IT” is All There Is.

…and “IT” has started taking over.

 

“whats” versus “the Who’s,”

a curious game of fates.

this has happened lots before,

history books give the dates.

 

chairs forgetting that they were

made to be sat on.

telephones forgetting that they were

made to be chatted on.

vehicles forgetting that they were

made to be driven.

people forgetting that they really are

Men and Women.

 

things thinking that they’re “the Who’s,”

and “the Who’s” are “whats.”

who made up this game

that’s so ridiculous?
