Who cares ... possibly?


Jeremiah 10:23 

23 Lord, we know that people do not control their own destiny.
It is not in their power to determine what will happen to them.

 

Who cares ... possibly?

 

Many wrote about butterflies and not much about crickets

Why is there a preference and who installed that feeling?

A vulture and an eagle fly observing the same thicket

But here again from hence one seems more appealing

 

Does it make a difference if you are the captured prey?

Of a lion or crocodile or of a large snake in the jungle

What seems to be a hindrance if they digest you all the way?

Every bite brings an offspring’s smile as it quenches hunger
