in the early days
our enimies were predators
plucked out of life before maturity
by some more able-bodied
creature
(survival of the fittest)

it hasn't changed since then.
still the same.

but these days
our enemies are
ourselves.

let's play the game now
(it's all a precious game)
in a forest of
houses
cars
encroaching on
the old places

let's see if we can
(luck)
survive
(gamble)
ourselves.
