The fisherman sees the fish
but not its pain
until as fish
he swims this way again.
The rich see not the poor
they have invented
and, not contented,
strive ceaselessly for more.
Abraham’s descendants
fight for their promised land,
and while they swarm and fight like ants
whose blood seeps into desert sand?
“My village against the world,
my family against the village,
my brother and I against my family.
Myself against my brother.”
“Nature red in tooth and claw”
contradicts Messiah’s Law.
Virus, germ
and parasitic worm
burrowing in blindness
do not respect the vegan’s kindness.
Breathing is the road to the breathless;
seeing the obvious is the path to the deathless.
