Just Cats Talking to Mice

what's left

with humans treating humans

like hammers speaking to nails

as cats conversing with mice

like wildfire embracing the wood

 our forest will burn 

slowly at first

very uncontrollably,

 eventually

no more,

humans treating humans

Very well said!! Great lines. My father spoke to me hammer to nail, it left lifelong scars.

Hammers are useful but they tend to be jerks for a living.
