Animal Hunch
Predator and prey in a race of survival;
A powerful pounce and crippling teeth,
Collapse, a pool of blood seeping into the earth.
Twitching limbs, painful convulsions --
To damage is an animal hunch.
Pawns and officers in a race for power;
A strategic move and unfortunate loss;
Collapse, a sorry soul cast into the stone.
Lost dreams, forgotten purposes --
To destroy is a side effect of humanity.
A powerful pounce and crippling teeth,
Collapse, a pool of blood seeping into the earth.
Twitching limbs, painful convulsions --
To damage is an animal hunch.
Pawns and officers in a race for power;
A strategic move and unfortunate loss;
Collapse, a sorry soul cast into the stone.
Lost dreams, forgotten purposes --
To destroy is a side effect of humanity.

The author encourages honest critique.
Just goes to show how destructive we've become, in more pernicious ways than the animal kingdom. With animals it's a game of survival. With our species it's politics. Fine work coralluna!
