predators.

sometimes, i wonder.

i wonder about the state of the world.
i wonder if we'll ever recover from this depraved form of humanity.
i wonder if the disease is contagious.
and i wonder if i have it.

i wonder if anyone doesn't.

because when it comes down to it, we could never be perfect.
we could never be close to perfect.
even the closest are, as we say, human.
even they slide into the depths of vice, willingly or not.

why do we separate ourselves from the animal kingdom?
it's all we are, all we ever were, all we will be.
we feed on dominance, attention, sex.
we are animals.

why can't we accept it?
