I'm getting better at showing this kind of mercy
except when it comes to large flies inside,
mosquitos on my skin, yellow jackets too close,
and mice chewing on the walls.
Then my tyrant comes out.
We humans, especially here in this society
surely have been programmed
to believe we're better than other beings
sharing this planet.
I recognize it more as time passes.
It does not make me proud.
That being said, I would appreciate
being greeted with the mercy I show other creatures,
like moths and spiders
who are respectfully escorted outside.
