Lion’s Feast

I’ve read that life marries death
I’ve read that human beings are the only beings that kill for the sake of killing
Killing replaces their pain, their fears
Unlike a lion’s feast, humans feast on everything,
especially what isn’t there’s to feast on
I’ve read that animal beings know what human beings are doing
I’ve read that disease is every human being doing, not animal beings
Unlike a lion’s feast humans tip the balance towards destruction
Stripping the eco from the system of life, apart
I am but the last remaining being reading from the book of human and being
I’m the lion I read about
I’m the soil I walked on
I’m what the lion feast on to survive
I’m what the human feast on to endure its own existence
