Darwin’s Dilemma
The hunter stalks
his prey like
an animal without conscience
looking
for the weak, the
vulnerable, the lonely,
the old, the relative-less,
and a thoughtful
gesture, the time,
patience, feigned
good-heartedness, and
then comes the kill
with the execution
of the will, and the hunter
walks away with the
spoils: house, savings,
car, TV, grandfather
clock, and many
useless personal things,
praising Nature
and sneering at
the moral order
of the world.
