I watch you play <br />You seem like a happy family <br />But I know deep inside <br />Any of you would kill the others <br />Simply to survive. <br /> <br />Haven't you ever seen <br />The weaker chick <br />Thrown from a height of five hundred feet? <br />Or watched the tiny otter starve to death? <br />These things are commonplace. <br /> <br />Only the human <br />The weak, puny human <br />Whose world dominance is undisputed <br />Regards the family as a haven. <br />Be it emotional, physical, grammatical trouble, <br />The family upholds. <br /> <br />Mostly. <br />Because haven't you seen <br />The weaker child <br />Thrown against the wall <br />Or watched the drunken parent hit their son?<br /><br />Sophie Khanoum<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-are-family-2/
