    Blood runs down in rivers


    Magnificent beast brought so low


    The crimson seeps from the bullet wound.


    Disproportionate response


    A shark would call it man


    Fear the monster in the dark


    Yet fear not the monster inside?


    Man’s inhumanity, the dichotomous war


    Destroyer, despoiler, protagonist


    But fear nature red in tooth and claw.
