We are a dangerous lot
We play a dangerous game
We know this…. But keep at it all the same
We are wild, not tame
We roam this vast, wild, sometimes friendly… sometimes unfriendly… plain
This sun scorched wilderness, this rough terrain
We get to carry a burden, such a heavy load
To work our way up the food chain
Life is a ragged road
To stand up and face a predator
While still preying on vulnerable prey
This is how it is, the law of the jungle
This line doesn’t belong here right? Still... I should probably end it with something that rhymes, like ‘pray’
The law of the strong
The jaw that can snap a neck bone
The claw of the jungle
The dominant ones have their way… it’s quite clear
The lesser ones will cower in fear
And those that spectate watch from a distance, and do not interfere
Let nature take its course
I have said enough, I await your feedback, for this poem was metaphorical and not literal… of course
And so, kindly, if you will... engage me, the author, in profound discourse.
