The imagery of survival, adaptation, and a grim outlook suggests a bleak perspective on the future, rooted in the complexities of human relationships and resilience.
“Survival of the fittest”
Is what I like to call it—
Chopped liver,
Cannon fodder,
Another drop from the faucet.
Soft skin,
Hard hearts,
The thing that kept us apart.
Imagination to adaptation,
A hopeless future from the start.
