Analysis of Our Cruel Kind
On airborne waves human emotions float
in directions guided from high above.
Foul voices widely spread a dark loath
of all strangers, promote but selfish love.
People adrift the hate-armed forces shove
into corners where it’s hard to survive,
no hope finding what is needed from life.
Wild animals choose righteously their prey.
Their stomachs full, only to mate they strife.
Our kind is false, pretense rips many a day.
