#Pyramids,

#Pyramids,

not

of Egypt

'nut of Kano

but

the larger,

ladened by the few.

While

on wheel,

some chase, not by will.

Still,

we all play

a role on the food

chain pyramid,

preying one another;

the masses,

by sheer force

of getting by

the elite,

by cheer force

of indulgence.

-Amami H.
