When you run after your prey

And try to ensnare them in your despicable claws

But they defy you and kick you away.

Eat the ground.

Taste the dirt

When someone ignores your underhanded comments

And pays back your inconsideration with kind words

And thoughtful gifts.

At this,

Eat the ground.

Swallow the soil

When you creep on the weak

And molest the moral.

Because they will laugh at your efforts

And shake their heads at your desperation.

Because you are just as lonely as they were inside

Until they decided to break the status quo

And become the leaders of the world.

When the people you berate and belittle

Ends up being your employer,

Eat the ground.
