In Blood
This poem reflects a darker side to humanity. As much as people like to feel as if humans are inherently good - it’s important to realize there is no such distinction in the animal kingdom. The lion must eat, the pest must spread. And above every animal on the food chain we sit on a throne of blood it seems. As humans we have plenty of redeeming qualities but we have some that are less than admirable that we are less likely to admit. It’s also interesting to note the many suicides that take place within the military - where in a recent statistic I read the total number of suicides of American soldiers in Afghanistan have exceeded the total number of deaths of American soldiers in Iraq. You can search that fact up on your own - but it’s something interesting to consider.
Stefan Sidelnick is everything and nothing at once. Sometimes he is a poet, other times a comedian, but mostly he is lazy and will post whatever he feels like.
