Predator & Prey
The life and death struggles of predator and prey
is nature's poetry in motion in its most bittersweet way.
I challenge anyone not to feel compassion for the predator's victim.
Compassion is what seperates us all from all other species.
It's the very quality that defines us as being human.
A fully fed grizzly bear may witness a pack of wolves slowly take down a caribou.
Not once will that bear think, "I wish that poor prey victim's suffering was through,"
and yet we who feel compassion for the predator's slain prey
continue to murder each other each and every day.
