Spoiled

On a hot summer day
I was laid by a buzzard
Abandon
Incubated by the desert heat.

Raised by the silvery beams
Of a bright full moon
Hand fed by humans
Whom named me
Horatio.

Now other critters
Want no part of me
A natural born looser
Destin to survive
on my own
Like a lone Lupus
In the wilderness
Of the fittest.

Once released by those
Who found me
When I was still within
The security
Of my encasement shell.

Never did I taste
The bitterness
Of dead rotting flesh
So you might say
I am a bit
Spoiled..

And I think far too many modern day humans are now spoiled - rotten.

WOW!!! that one we saw not coming!
Kind of fox-hole fatalism as the dice is cast but not from your hand.
Brother, if you are spoiled...I am rotten!
