Pounce
Why is the world so judgmental?
Like people,
Hungry animals choose their prey
By looking for the weak or wounded
They pursue them—
they find them alone and scared
Then they Pounce
Attacking and tearing apart—
Every weak point
Devouring them
Till they have nothing left
How can the broken fight back?
They live in fear
Like the little animals in the mighty jungles
They feel like they don’t belong
This poem is about:
Me
My community
Our world
