How it makes for a cheering study,
In contrast to competition, which
Can have depressing connotations.
There are so many phenomena
That rely on cooperation
In the natural world, ranging from
Predation to parasitism!
Surely, that’s the end of depression,
To know slime molds, humans, killer whales
Are all skillful cooperators.
Surely, their efficiently acquired
Dinners across the trophic levels
Are thrilled to discover hunters aren’t
Hardwired for conflict with each other.
Let us praise cooperation, for
The greatest devastations belong
To the greatest cooperators.
