FURY

In this unnatural world

we are the only species

that perpetuates animosity

Survival may be for the fittest

but animals do not plot revenge

hold generational grudges

punish and torture

starve and exterminate

deceive and manipulate

poisoning

the

future

 

One could argue

of all the life

that walks this planet

we are the least civilized

of lesser intelligence

Surely depleted

of kindness and mercy

Any hungered frenzy

those called beasts

could possibly muster

is swallowed whole

by the fury we pass

to

our

children
