Carnage Voyeurs

   Mother Nature makes little piglets and lambs
      We humans slaughter them for mutton and ham 

   Lest you think mankind unusually cruel
      Ponder what lions and tigers do for their fuel

Gets my thoughts on humans actions.? I see Humans on the whole as weak really, for they Are never ' satiated by killing' it always leads To more. As satan offers to 'satiate' there Is never a lower floor.'' I note i'm sort of off of This writes content.' Yet that is what hit my Mind as a counterpoint on killing.'

It was not meant to be so, but this is the here and now, before the lion and lamb lay down together in harmony. Good one, Gershon!
