An Instinct To Kill Poem by Terence George Craddock

survival in mother nature teaches;
animals swift from danger run;
human youth in contrast is drafted;
trained to savage death gun run;
in nature predation predator prey;
hunger starving survival death;
can be swift or broken torn lingering;
teeth claw not a bullet breath;

animal instinct;
run kill fight;
for survival humanity war is political;
survival individual;
becomes soldier sliced
diced burned mechanical;
