  • Watching Ducks In A Lake

    (More first thought best thought feedback from sitting in the park with a pen)

    watching the ducks in the lake

    observing older ducks stealing food from young chicks

    and a common instinct to share food

    at least among their own

    ducks seem conservative at times

    yet exhibit the instinct to share

    Unlike some greedy human ideology based on

    gene pool chauvinism competition business

     

    the less common events in the animal kingdom

    are captured on film

    a mother violently protecting her young

    an alpha male taking on another

    the extraordinary trumps the usual, the common fact

     

    the anomalies become popularised lies

    the loudest rises

    the dictator clenches his fist

    the cautious sidelined

    the thinkers insulted by certainty

    only the blind and faithful wave flags

    me with the gutter punks, the lowliest of hags

     

    each squark from a chick

    like a radar, like a find your friend app

    increase in frequency and pitch signals distress

    opportunists, and the animal instinct for survival

    stealing and deception, a fight for survival

    like weasels fighting in a hole

     

    are human no better than animals?

    what differentiates the humans from animals?
