Predators Prey

Whole Picture Poetry

Predators prey

While pretending to pray

Predators control

Dominate

Dictate

While hiding hands

Claiming truth is fake

Predators must take

In order to feel power

To feel valid

To feel alive

To feel

Anything

Predators prey

On anyone and anything

Predators aren’t born

Or taught

It’s about the choices they make

They embrace a lifestyle

A way of existing

They choose toxicity

Knowing the consequences

Calling it all a game

Predators prey

They are often the ones claiming

They pray

They dictate life for others

To hide their crimes

Knowing life was never designed

To be lived that way

Predators

Prey

Because they won’t change

They refuse

To learn a better way

Of relating

Predators are always fearful

Of all things

That disprove their agenda

So all get punished

For shinning a light on the way

They abuse

Misuse

Misconstrue

Predators hate

Themselves

So how could they love anything

Predators

A species of human

Or perhaps another altogether

Recalcitrant to existing

In harmony with the living

Predators prey

Because they seek control

Abuse

To cage

Predators are lonely

Though they would never say it

In fact

Predators don’t tell the truth at all

They hide everything

Authentic

Honest

Legitimate

Balancing

Predators prey

Because they failed to adapt

In healthier ways

They try to force others

To adjust

To behave in the same ways

Many fall along the way

It’s sad to see

But even more sad to say

That when the façade falls

Predators continue to cling

To the falseness

That is the image of a world they create

In their own minds they are the kings

Queens

Gods

Of all they claim

Predators

In human form

Have no grip on reality

They fail to recognize

That they consume their own

Genetically speaking

That’s literal cannibalism

It’s metaphorical eating

It’s spiritual consumption

It’s a detestable thing

Human predators

Fail to thrive as human beings

But thrive as animals

Parading as enlightened

Falsely claiming superiority

Grotesquely pretending

They can lead the way

Monsters in men

Some call them possessed

By demons

I don’t believe in such things

I believe in demonic human beings

Scapegoating their actions

Onto an invisible

Intangible thing

Convenient

Predatory living

Takes everything

Pretends to donate

In reality

Simply hiding

Rewriting

Rewording

Whitewashing

All reality

Predatory

Predation

Predators

Eliminating life

Telling their targets not to wake

Convenient

To keep your victims asleep

What kind of predator

Needs to paralyze

Traumatize

Disable

Debilitate

Trap

Enslave

The human kind

Weak

Unevolved

Unchanged

Not the most predatory

But the worst kind

The one who believes in

Their own fantasies

Drinking their own

Narcissistic cool-aid

Predators prey

But predators get taken down daily

All it takes

Honesty

Empathy

Integrity

Such strength eliminates predators

Every day

Those with such gifts

Are blessed by the cosmos

A natural response to

Predatory genetics

Is for nature

To show who truly dominates

Who truly has the power

What truly is the order of every day

Nature

True order

True divine intervention

Predators

Defiant ‘till the end

Arrested developmentally

Purveyors of hate

Infecting

Eroding

Destroying everything

Confusing

Co-opting

Copy and paste

Predators

Hoarding

Loathing

Corrupting

Waiting

For fate

Karma always has her say

Predators always have to face

Karmic reckoning

That is the way
