Hawk soars, doing what it was born to do.
What does he see, but his next meal…a path to procreation,
Nothing personal, it is a simple means of survival…
Prolongation of the species.
Is not man much the same, feeding on the weaker of the species?
In the end he is nothing more than an animal;
Carnivorous in more than his primal appetite,
Feasting on flesh and blood of the lesser to satisfy its needs…
Perpetuation of his own.
We claim to be of a higher ilk, greater than the common beast,
But we fool ourselves, we are nothing more than a bipedal wildebeest
Living up to Darwin’s own theory…
Survival of the fittest.

Dom, it does seem so sometimes, doesn’t it? Food for thought. Great post.
Thank you so much Beth, indeed it does. 🙂
Ever wonder if birds of prey are curious or are they always on the hunt?
I think that most times they are on the hunt as that is their nature, but I suppose that they could be curious as well…I guess we’ll never really know. Thanks Charles. 🙂
I just remember there being a pair of hawks that hung around the apartment complex I lived in years ago. They had no fear of hopping over to a human that was resting on a bench. Very bizarre to be reading outside, look to your left, and see a hawk just chilling on the other half of the seat. Thinking someone was feeding them.
That would be incredibly cool I would think to have a hawk as a bench mate. I could see a pigeon doing this, but I never would have thought a wild hawk would do it. Amazing.
It was definitely a new experience. There were owls too, but they were jerks. Preferred to buzz the heads of anyone who wasn’t paying attention.
Can you say “duck” and wear a big floppy hat for protection. 🙂
Thankfully I was short enough to be ignored. My 6 foot plus friend was not so lucky. 🙂
Then I would be in real trouble as well. 🙂
Dominic, Always so good you are!!!! Must visit more. Phil
Thank you Phil. 🙂
