Voracious

Nothing is safe from the jaws of this tiger
Whose ravenous appetite knows no remorse.
Stalking the jungle, the beast knows his quarry.
Daybreak to sunset, no creature secure.

No one approaches, in fear of his vengeance,
The catapult swiftness of his fierce attack.
Choosing in deference to cower in silence
Quivering quietly, deftly unsure.

What makes his hunger abide so voracious?
When is enough ever truly enough?
When will the lamb get her chance at the table?
How much injustice can one world endure?
