Analysis of The Difference
Animals think,
and animals react
Animals sleep,
and animals attack
Animals eat,
and animals mate
Animals fly,
and animals wait
Animals feel,
and animals cry
Animals sicken,
and animals die
Animals come,
and animals go
Animals watch,
and animals know
Animals stalk,
and animals deceive
But animals lack faith
—and cannot believe
