On the brink of two

societies,

one meant for royalty,

the other, living silently,

close to losing sanity.


They had two different

priorities,

unsimilar moralities,

but held down by the same

gravity.


No one took the time

to erase their rivalry, to

see the irony,

their similarity.


They both had claws

that struck through the heart,


Bared teeth that broke

down this silver armor,


A sting that stabbed

you conscious deep,


Thousand hidden thorns

buried beneath, growing

as we sleep.


For we called ourselves

humans, and them, the

beasts.


But even the beasts

know, that no matter

how high on the chain,

we're still,

one

of

them.
