City Creatures
I’ve realized after living for so many years
That sometimes taking a life isn’t something you choose.
I walk through the streets of the city with no fears
Of retribution from the creatures beneath my shoes.
If it were possible, I would leave them all alone,
But there are just too many of them living out there.
It seems like most of them don’t even have a home.
To avoid killing them, you would have to walk on air.
I know that they are necessary for us to survive,
But I’m just not a fan of the ugly, creepy, little things.
The more people there are, the better they thrive.
At best annoying, at worst, scary to us human beings.
