A Neighbor’s Spite

Gone are the great cats and bears
Gone are the terrifying snakes and boars
Gone are the ravaging marauding hoards
And in their place spiteful neighbors
Stir up their troubles
In their desire to be right and righteous
Blissful in their ignorance
That they are none other 
Than the other they despise.
