We took upon ourselves this mighty emblem Swift, strong, clever, admirable All the traits we boast For we admire predators And will never admit weakness, craving help As the ultimate enemies of our grandparent's did When there were no more hunters strong enough for us We hunted ourselves And looked to this symbol like wingless conspire Created a feeble facsimile, a mockery Both predator and prey fly rebelliously In secret handshakes and public smiles We convolutedly devoured ourselves
