it is a tiny tiny thing

they say it is the enemy

and evil



i wonder



when you think how  animals are treated

enslaved, hunted, squashed

& i bet they are glad we are indoors a while



yet it continues as essential

we think we own them

and imprison them



inseminate, take their babies

**** them and eat them as

essential



my mother said

what goes round

comes round



i guess the abattoirs are still open

as essential



it is a tiny tiny thing

hoping to survive

like us

like the coral

like all things
