Notes About The Poem

For Joseph May's "One in Five" Poetry Contest


 

When Wild Beasts Roar

When wild beasts roar against its blood
Two grizzlies rise up in full swing
They'll bathe the field in crimson flood
When wild beasts roar

No ties survive what desires bring
Estrus whips ursine rage to bud 
For nature bows to just one king

Gone were their childish plays as cubs
Old bonds break for the sake of bling
Where one takes crown, the other mud
When wild beasts roar

Thanks Andrea. Here, we have a proverb that basically says, "Money knows no kin," which meant that greed can corrode even closest family ties. Relatives getting into legal battles and smear campaigns over assets and inheritance are pretty commonplace, I'm afraid.
