Kara the Careful Amazon Woman

Kara gingerly walks from treetop to treetop
Careful not to step
On squirrels, bluebirds or cardinals

The other giant Amazon women scoff
Roll their brown eyes at her inane silliness
Eagerly smashing and bashing smaller creatures as they tromp

Their enormous daily kill rates rapidly adding up in heaven
They often compare and chuckle about the woodchucks and cats
None of them understanding what Kara understands

Karma is a b*****

Uniquely thought provoking, fun, but a good point. We don't often think about the other lives on our planet.

We surely do not care.
