Foul fiend why do you prey on the little ones?
For the same reason you do.
I don’t prey on anything.
Indirectly you do.
How so foul fiend?
The same way all beings do.
Can you be clearer?
Yes, I prey on the smaller things for sustenance,
As you pray on animals like chickens for sustenance.
Like me, you are programmed to kill for survival.
Unlike me, you have made the process more acceptable
Minus the brutality of doing the actual killing.
In a way, I am more real than you and take responsibility
For my daily kills and consumption to remain alive.
I am hawk. Neither of us are foul fiends. We just are
as designed.
Bob Boyd
