The Sick

first soiled land 
is now a pool 
of blood.
for what?
to conquer all 
and all race?

minds can evolve trouble
telling the body to act 
mind says no opinion,
just 
fact
on they will act 

conquer all land
and feet that 
burden.
ambush the animals
sell their fur 

vengeance on nothing
but their own gut,
must prove they can
swing a punch 

they punch
as their fists sway
through effortless
air
