The Wild

In the laws of nature the strongest survive.
All creatures instinctively know how to find food,
protect themselves, and mate.
There is no half way and good intentions
each living thing continues or perishes.
It is not an evil plot, immersed in sin
it is the way of the wild, there is no right or wrong

but to be human the rules change.
We like to imagine that we are in charge
There is good and evil.
So many virtues to emulate
and commandments to obey
yet in our simplest form,
before clerics interpreted
the intentions of a supreme being
we were all part of the wild and free to roam.
