Biological Greek Philosophy

On top there is a mind to create.


At the bottom, feet to walk away.


Aristotle: “Virtue is in the middle.”


We’re here just to procreate.


 


Looking at it from the back:


On top there is an unaware prey


For militarised boots to strike.


We’re here just to be smack’d.


 


Looking at it from down under:


On top there is a mighty psyche,


But down here there’s a worm.


In the middle of dirt we plunder.


 


Looking at it from high above:


Your virtue is in the middle


Of where your feet ever trod.


Tell us you kill out of love.
