Cooperation
Is a weapon: it helps us
Punish them and banish them,
Helps us hunt, kill, and eat them.
When we see friendship
In other systems,
Anthropomorphizing them
Is the least of it.
We’re bullying our own team
To be self-sacrificing.
We’re sermonizing our strays.
Humans are supreme
Cooperators,
Sweetness our most fearsome way.
