For example -
crocodiles are (or have been) revered (or worshipped)
in southern Asia, west Africa, and ancient Egypt.
This animal of chthonic and æonical distinction
has inhabited our active earth for 250 million years
through serious climate changes, geological upheavals,
pole-reversal and at least two mass-extinctions.
Let us pray -
that they survive the present one contrived by Man,
who, compared with the Venerable Crocodile,
is a momentary flash (or turd) in the evolutionary pan.
