The Cannibals and Predators

A beautiful day -
I see the bees are collecting nectars
from the blossoming roses
they are singing and dancing over the blooms
the bees have returned to their hive.
The sun sets on the horizon
the night falls
the cannibals are just awakened from their bunk
the predators are prepared for their hunt
they didn't see the joy of the bees
they didn't care even for the essence of the roses and their hues
they wake during the night
they hate the light and bright.
An awful night ends
the sun rises again
another beautiful day returns
perhaps the cannibals and predators are sleeping now.
