Mandibles

doing it for the ones

not the twos

not the fours

doing it for the ones

the knockers

who stand at the doors

may this sink deep into the pores

of the poor, that they may be fed

that they may hunger no more

the bear who does not care

sits and stares at honey bees

fluttering about the trees

this is where the story unfolds

a child falls through a loophole

to save the tot  “BANG”

a gorilla gets shot

when the news was published

the white lion picked his paws

sucking his teeth without surprise

he had bit a man’s head off and ate it

 for that he was only sedated
