Gears


   Once moving,
   In conjunction with another.
   
   Moving gears relate,
   One to the other.
   
   Turning once,
   Moves another.
   
   As beasts eat,
   Predation follows the score.
   
   Turning on prey,
   Discovered today.
   
   Like our politics,
   The moving beasts eat.
   
   As gears,
   The prey retreats.
   
   Until the beast,
   Has nothing left.
   
   The gears have moved,
   On to a new feat.
