Surrealism: Doomed Predator

Painting and Poem by Dr Abe V Rotor

Surrealism: Doomed Predator, in acrylic AVR 2011

Surreal - but who would know -
the inmate or a child?
who have not known pain enough,
who shrunk from chide?

Surreal is Goya's giant, and Jaws,  
the lions of Hemingway;
one life taking another for survival
predator over its prey.

Surreal is a towering palm or tree,  
killer by allelopathy; 
under its crown no sapling lives,
including its progeny.

Surreal haunts millions in poverty,   
clinging to life as they pray;
prey of those living the Good Life, 
themselves too, are prey.~
