Pretty garden spider
Like the jungle tiger
The same old tale
On a smaller scale
Why must it be so?
Wherever you go
Every creature’s feature
Hunter or hunted in Nature
Blood and gore
For ever more
From the start
Until death do us part
Why must it be so?
Couldn’t humans show
Some brilliant ingenuity
And do away with this iniquity?
For everyone milk and honey
Every being as meek as a bunny
Wouldn’t that be nice?
Just as in Paradise
I can hear your icy sneers
Like hailstorm in my ears:
That is life, that’s the go
You should know it must be so!
Yet, despite the cursèd doom
Let us pray to cast away the gloom
May the gentle, caring dove
Spread the word of peace and love!
