Carnivorous relationships, like those  
established between predator and prey,  
that prey would understandably oppose  
had Nature given it the proper sway,

but as it is required to persevere,  
pretending all is well and all is equal,  
and try as best it can to sound sincere,  
while hoping to do better in the sequel.

What of its other, its significant?  
Its predator, let us assume a lion.  
Does it complain or grumble, does it rant,  
since it is not the one that must be dying?

Apparently it doesn't give a damn,  
and advertises: lion, seeking lamb.
