STRANGE BEASTS
We no longer
Dwell in forests
The woods or
Hunt, ponder
About nature
Instead
We walk through
Graveyards
On sunny days
Admiring the
Headstones
Of those
Who once did
Or watch
Movies
At the mall
Gather
Our food
At Trader Joe’s
Drink purified
Water from
Plastic containers
And still
Allow morons
To take land
Away from those
Who coexist
With it
Our tribe
Our people
Are unnatural
Unbeautiful
Strange beasts
Who destroy
Everything to
Create garbage
Our own
Funerals
More headstones
That cover the
Earth
With our
Own shit
