the weak one

i couldn't save him if i wanted to
from your venomous strike
its his will
his will to turn away
stone faced grins
are easy to ignore
wait for his bite
if you must
there are no queries here
no mistaken identity
your face is the same
no
mat ter
the change of your name
we see you for who you are have been being
dim by your own despair
divulging evidence of desparation
sing songs with strings attached
those too will be cut
from trees of obligation
lack of humanity
is
not
negative
when you rest at the bottom of the food chain
