All Lives Matter

All Lives Matter For centuries, people have shared home with a great many Predators. Conceiving and grooming these anomalies, our universe calls us to love and embrace all that comes from her womb. From Natural disasters that occur more and more frequently, to the numerous diseases having its fill. We have been conditioned to accept that there may be a blood lusting tandem of wolf and vampire in our homelands, bickering over whom has the higher divine right to the flock. Because we live in such close quarters with many of the would be predators, our knowledge of these oppressive forces have become more intimate. In America, the wolf drains the veins of the economy, lusting power and financial dominance. The Vampire has a much broader family tree. These ancient carnivores are both thriving and in decay, simultaneously. Every breath could be their last. These are the many cancers, the illnesses. These are the many forms of a tragic and untimely death.
