_ Poet Sonia Sanchez asks the obvious question: man or beast? _

Reprinted with permission from Beacon Press, Boston, Massachusetts,

 

the nature of the beast is the 
man or to be more specific 
the nature of the man is his
bestial nature or to 
bring it to its elemental terms
the nature of nature is 
the bestial survival of the 
fittest the strongest the richest
or to really examine
the scene we cd say that
the nature of any beast is
bestial unnatural and natural
in its struggle for superiority
and survival but to really
be with it we will say that the man
is a natural beast bestial in
his lusts natural in his 
bestiality and expanding
and growing on the national 
scene to be the most 
bestial and natural of
any beast. you dig?
