Prey
One word with several meanings
One word with several yearnings
Your choice, determines your earnings
Not the choice of hunting
Or being the haunted
However, it's a choice of what's learnt
I've been both
In two separate boats
But accompanied with the same oath
This is not about being religious
It's not about being just
Because in both shoes, I've prayed for the miraculous
Tempted by the devil
Visited by evil
Though I am not an angel, I knew I had to be an easel
A platform for an art
A drawing out of good hearts
An act not for me alone but to impart
The prey prays
Even those that prey
Hope for a way
Whether you're the predator
Or the reactor
Know this, in your story, dead or alive you'll always be the actor
In the food chain
Everyone is in chains
It is only when you break yours that you'll truly gain
- Micgray
YOUR STORY IS A LESSON FOR OTHERS
NOT A PRODUCTION OF WEALTH FOR SELF
THE CHAINS ARE OUR GREED
