I Prey

Prey.
Life’s jungle.
I – baboon to your tigress.

Gibberish comic throws
coconuts to elude
your deadly stealth.
Baboons die.

Prey.
Life’s cycle.
I – gazelle to your lioness.

Swift but weak,
dodges by leaps and bounds
your killing jaws.
The weak die, others not.

Pray.
Religion's lifeblood.
I –sinner to your priestess.

Kneel at life's altar.
Stupidity’s kyrie in hope of
renewed faith.
Not all die in sweet absolution.
