Truth of this life explained in simple and effective way. Full ******
Thank you, Dr. Nehal. Sometimes, simplicity in poetry is very effective. Other times, it's misconstrued and gets me in hot water.
It also appears to be the philosophy, and policy, of dictatorships. And various corporations!
Thank you, Dillip. It was one of those rare ones that came to me in a flash.
This reminds me of a New Yorker cartoon I saw yesterday Bravo!
I should send the poem to them. LeeAnn, now I understand why you're such a good poet. You're reading some outstanding publications.
In my retirement, I've chosen to eat. I've had enough of being eaten by employers who exploit employees!
Predatory is the world. Science says of the ‘Food-Chain'….. nice one.5*
I still get shivers down my spine when I see animals devouring other animals. But that's for food and survival. The same can't be said for man made wars butchering and murdering God's children!
That shouldn't apply to human beings. Yet, some of them are more vicious than the mightiest beasts!
Such a brief work, but a powerful message on the cruelties of life and nature. Its the never ending cycle, everything eats someone else, in the animal world or the human world. Fantastic stuff!
One of those rare poems that came in a flash. And seems to be quite popular. Thank you so much, Kevin for believing it to be fantastic.
