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
