" I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and sell contained
I stand and look at them long and long ,
They do not sweat and whine about their condition
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God
Not one is dissatisfied not one is demented with the mania of owning things
Not one kneels to another , nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago,
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole Earth "
Walt Whitman
