Scurrying about...
Darting here and there... panicked
Whimpering feebly... 
Brave predators lick their lips...
Caged, trapped... helpless... caught fast...

flocks of geese flying
remind of the life cycle
survival of the fittest
arrowheads pointing
southward in a migration
birds wiser than we, you see.

A survival of the fittest is a very famous proverb
As long as good luck, good living and silliness converge
So I've heard
Oh about the third
A personal choice, passionately writing about turds...

Watched a nature program about Africa last night
Bout the animals that roam free, what a glorious sight
Survival of the fittest
Can make us grimace
As the prey succumbs in a fight for their life...

When a raptor chases
a small bird, to hunt and feed on
the bird may win or lose.
- Survival of the fittest

When a bird chases
a raptor, to save her children
the bird will inevitably win
- The power of motherhood...

Mother of the Deer

Hunter stalker 
Caught in sights of rifle shot
For sport and meat
Sorry my Dear 
This is what people do
Like Jan the wise lady said
Survival of the fittest 
Not the prettiest...

where flowers once whispered
fainted petals lie forlorn
survival of the fittest
stand alone to mourn

uncovered soil shivering with chills
once gardens, now have lost their shading
a floral cemetery within one
whispers are now fading...

Watched a nature program about Africa last night
And the animals that roam free what a glorious sight
Survival of the fittest
Can make us grimace
As the prey succumbs in a fight for their life


Hard to watch!!!

If he was the provost of a prison
He would open all of the cells
Let the prisoners decide among themselves
Who would live and who would die
They would dance into the yard
Laughing and carousing
Except for the small ones
Survival of the fittest
So aren’t you glad
he is not the provost of a prison?...

Sitting on the clouds
I feel like flying
Above strawberry fields
I feel like crying

Some feelings I got
Something big is about to happen
Blowin over the heirs 
Just to get to the kickoff

Like a magician
Flipin cards 
Disappearing when the fields come
Everybody knows

This is survival of the fittest...

The lion and the Zebra in a duel of life
The hunter and the hunted
As  spectator in the food chain 
It can be daunting and also haunting

A run to catch the prey
Running away from the predator 
This is normal in the Serenegeti
Survival of the fittest  in the grasslands
It5the food chain making its rounds.

Survival of the fittest – 
Practically, trying my best…
Owning an applaud for future successes in excess – a failure I don’t detest
Terribly trying to pass this difficult test…apparently, I don’t give a shit! You’re a pet peeve, but grieve not – you’re a little pest in one spot and I’ll leave you with all the rest…rooted to the spot suddenly…embarrassed abruptly…...

River Rules

They strain against the confines of her flow, seeking release,
aware of naught but the river’s instinctual calling.
The mock applause of clumsy bears slyly spurring them on
offering feigned assistance over the cascading roar.
Nature’s justification - “survival of the fittest”.

what is life 
life is a gift gift
from love
million spermatazoa
solitary ovum
it s a chance
they swim against the current
upstream one wins if permitted
survival of the fittest
we are born
gamettes zygotes
cleavage and compaction
inner call mass morula
we are not morones
tropho-blasts blasto-cytes
hatching eggs
cavitiating lesions
we are implanted now

Considering it again, it’s shaking me from inside
Shall I do it? please enlight

Shall I escape from the torment of the soul
As it seems eternal as a whole

This life isn’t as bright 
I expected it like a fog light

Escaping the world would give eternal torment of the soul
As in hell I would be baked and rolled

Was this I made for?
An example of survival of the fittest, the Darwin’s lore...

wars of every size
man's compulsion
thru the ages

always motivated
somehow by greed
call it what you may

persecuting
bullying
harassing
invading
crushing
conquering

causing drama
creating grief
thriving on mayhem
survival of the fittest
in the jungle of life

obliterating harmony and peace
sowing the seeds of evil

Those who claim to be wise say to enjoy the gift of life.
But I say they are  fools and in the backs will be pierced by a knife.
Those who stay cautious of the horrors and never give up will survive.
But it's survival of the fittest, and the weak will be tortured like a child by beehives.
Murders, suffering, hunger, sorrows on earth so vastly they drift.
Do you truly live, and say this life is a gift?...

Survival of the fittest is an ordinance in life 
You must be strong to live and be or destroyed 
Though the operational theatre is here on Earth 
The creating theatre is way above and within 
There the rules are made for all based on the truth 
By those worthy of truth and strong to keep the truth 
The god in man takes charge for it is the truth in man
Truth is the key to access that realm to be strong...
