In Nature We are Only a Menu Item

 

Purporting to love nature is a commonplace

This does not mean that nature loves us back

We often look for nature’s smiling face

But nature looks for us as a tasty snack

 

The alligator is defended for being here first

The gentle boar is a creature of God

Anopheles wants only to quench its thirst

The innocent shark hungers only for cod

 

Communing with nature cannot be beaten –

Up until the moment when you are eaten!
