the human way

the blood spilled around the spinning globe today

has not been excessive

just ankle-deep

the newly dead

with their eyes that saw the sun set yesterday

now looking into eternity

our daily sacrifice

to our flaws as a species

the weak among us say

monuments to this day

but that is normal

this is after all humanity

we have to spill blood

walk with knives between our teeth

decapitated heads in our hands

or we would start feeling

we have gone soft

the apex predator

hunting itself

blood and steel

is our way

humanity's way
