I have to learn to give mercy
even at times when
the lack of mercy
feels more convenient
and necessary
per animal inclinations
but the mercy I give
allows my spirit to give
otherwise I will become
more animal than human
instinctively desiring to
out animal the next
and my purpose goes beyond
chest-beating and pissing contests
I choose to live liberated
not in a perpetual state
of ”trying to survive”
in the image of a hamster
running inside of a wheel
