Privilege is often blighted by arrogance
that sounds dull and hollow
-But a bird lost and abandoned
Will make the sweetest sound
This too is an extinction of humanity
Even man is made extinct by man
Everything has to fit into his carryall
Anything that does not fit is hunted down
If a tiger dares to compare itself to man
If it dares to compete with the beauty of men
It is hunted down and killed
It is cornered and bulldozed
The world moves on in this fashion
From Cain to Chicago
The animals we call game are massacred
The weeds we don’t like are poisoned
