THE WAY OF THE WORLD

The serpent broke the rat’s neck,

Just in time for the snake to be meal at falcon’s nest

The beetles feast on weeds

The birds feed on bees

It goes on and on,

The strong preying on the weak.

The wheel of time rolls on undisturbed

Balancing the scales of the world

I have seen from my eagle’s nest,

A thousand running of heads on streets

Just to go fix one fat head’s meal.

Whether they slump, faint or die,

Seems not worth a person’s minutes

The strong made for the weak

The more they get, the harder for the weak

Clearly a man must be strong,

Strong enough to break from the rat race’s bonds

The serpent has broken the rat’s neck

Just in time for the snake to be meal at the falcon’s nest

It goes round and round,

Indefatigable way of the world.
