Barracuda:

Reflecting on the Food Pyramid


Barracuda
impatient for results
barracudas
favor substance over form
these samurai of the seas
slash at frivolity
and get to the meat of each issue

yet when great sharks appear
the scales are reversed
as these warriors
learn any morsel
can be recycled quickly
as they torn to shreds then
their bones sink closer
to center of the earth
Andrei: Isn't zis how zhe real world works: dog eat dog, fish swallow fish?
Soo: One part of it does. However, who are we to claim knowledge of all parts?
Ellesha: (belching without hesitation) Only fools could assert such a claim.
Jules: Arrogance & apathy: aren't they hallmarks of our civilization?
