We, Unlike Them

So unlike an ostrich
who buries head in sand
we marvel and we wonder
about our cherished land

we laugh when we are happy
we cry at funerals; mourn
we feel pain of our conscience
we smile at babies born

we chaff when we are counseled
we cheer the times we win
we work till dust for family
we aid our suffering friends

we search our reason for living
unlike a monkey or bear
for we want to know our purpose
and if there's a God who cares
