Why Killers Kill

by GeraldShuler

Vultures soar when lions roar

It makes life seem so cruel

but both will feed this evening

 

It's sealed deep within their core

To use their given tool...

Survival without grieving.

 

Would that Man could understand

The truth that nature fuels.

Man's conscience is deceiving.

Today we are writing a tercet about nature, humanity, and animals. A tercet is a complete 3-line poem. Do not write this or treat this as a Haiku. Requirements for this poem is to use at least one metaphor and one internal rhyme anywhere you like. As best as you can, incorporate all three of these elements (animals, nature, humanity), but it's okay if you only focus on the relationship between two.

How you do this is completely up to you.
No pictures. Only your words.
