Animal

I am. I’ll eat the living, the healthy, and the rich.

Even little children, the poor and the starving.

I eat through walls and through cities and the ground

I eat the smell of death and smell of courage

I eat the mothers and the little babies that make them want to live

Even the smallest bug and largest mammal

I eat it all

Because I am an animal!
