The Humboldt Squid

Insatiable swimmer

Mindlessly hunting beyond satisfaction

Multiplying without purpose

Conquering without reason

The weight of the ocean

The darkness of the depths

The red devil so called

Demonized in nature

Is it better to be a jellyfish ?

No brain , no spine

Only long flowing tentacles to help me drift

Unwelcome unless docile

Predator only when safe

Essentially avoidable

Holding untapped ancient wisdom

Seen as a spectacle

Neither respected nor demeaned

Simply existing
