Animal behind the disguise
They’re killing innocence because that’s what they do. Bullets are made to fly and bombs to fall too. The animal is alive and disguised by a soft smile. But it will rip out and eat your heart and then politely say thank you.
The animal lives a cultured life, educated and true. The animal exists in your life and walks, breathes, sleeps and talks around you. The animal disguised may indeed show concern for your pain. But it would happily end your life if living came down to a choice of it or you only to remain.
The animal inside is ferocious and true.
living behind the disguise of a face with soft eyes just like me or you.
For no matter how polite and peaceful you are finding your truth in nature and the sun. If your animal had to fight for its life it would destroy by hand, by foot, by tooth, by blade or by gun.
