Some say it’s just a job
And others in chest-filled proclamation
Burst a badge called ‘for the betterment of all’
Some say nothing at all,
They do and die
And all, without exception, are tagged with agency:
‘I chose!’
But there’s a bark that wasn’t recorded
A whimper lost in translation,
a tail that doesn’t wag;
‘God made man in His own image’
they say,
but perhaps the Egyptians got it right.
