Growl

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Aug 23, 2022 

Growl.
Dog eat
Dog.
Guttural
sound.
Flashing
of white.
Fangs
exposed.
Pecking
order.
How
established.
Jungle
world.
Jockeying
for
position.
Pushback.
Otherwise
dominated.
Jungle,
survival
of the
fittest.
Climbing
the ranks
or pushed
to the
bottom.
Humanity
no different.
Animals all.
Growling.
Flashing
of fangs.
Stand and
fight,
less
driven
from the
scene.
Animals
all.
