Cries of suffering once distant are now— Now what? Proximity should make no difference And yet When an animal suffers by existing it is the natural order of humans. I at times wonder, what should we call the mess we’ve made? Labels feign importance A category is a hierarchy A tyrant is nothing without Fear and prey Prey, fear, repeat.

Waiting for hate to show its teeth
Cries of suffering once distant are now— Now what? Proximity should make no difference And yet When an animal suffers by existing it is the natural order of humans. I at times wonder, what should we call the mess we’ve made? Labels feign importance A category is a hierarchy A tyrant is nothing without Fear and prey Prey, fear, repeat.
