Cycles continue
as the beast smells fresh meat,
unwittingly pleased;
the child eats rank life,
unreachably doomed;
the man drinks self blood;
unmistakably dead.

Author notes
This is a second of my poems to follow previous efforts by Koba and vrosej10 to describe a Pulitzer prize winning photograph by Kevin Carter. You may google the photographer to see the photograph.
The two poems are The Vulture and the Baby by Koba, and How to Stop Being Human by vrosej10.
My previous effort is called Darwin's Victory.
I want to thank Koba for writing the original poem.
