Being in the world
Is not always as easy as it looks
It takes
Fortification
And courage
And a strength
Seldom found
In the Animal Kingdom
For animals
Never have to worry
About being overtaken
By someone’s mind
Or being taken advantage of
With cruelty
Animals ****
For food
And dominance
And nothing else
While the animal that is man
Kills
For the sheer pleasure of it
