The Primal Instinct

 

 

Hunger, the primal instinct, creates
The reaction of the hunter
To fill the need that feeds
The preservation of life.

 

Copulation, the primal instinct, creates
The stimulus that population
Thrives on. To breed the seed;
The preservation of life.

 

Breath, the primal instinct, creates
The necessity to breathe
And continue; to heed the need.
The preservation of life.

 

Death, the primordial instinct, creates
The necessity of breath,
The stimulus of copulation,
And the reaction of hunger,
In travesty. To cede the deed.
The desecration of life.

favorite lines are "Breath, the primal instinct, creates
The necessity to breathe" -----for, then we become the breathing.

sweet little wisdoms... I liked also And the reaction of hunger,
In travesty. To cede the deed.
