Why drive a vehicle along these roads,
Which has
the word ‘PREDATOR’
Emblazoned
on it. In large letters,
In a
sort-of-aggressive font with jagged edges?
Is it supposed
to look like the sharp teeth,
That you
might glimpse in the mouth
Of an imagined
tiger, or a sudden shark?
Who are you trying
to impress or frighten,
When you are
only a naked ape
Encased in a
movable steel and plastic box?
Not a fierce wild stalking carnivore,
Nor any type
of soaring eagle or hawk,
As anyone
would see, if you just walked.
But maybe it
wasn’t you who
Chose the
logo.
Maybe some designer
somewhere
Thought that
it was a good idea,
Which could
sell cars to
Those who
believed one scary word
Would designate
a striving driver,
On their way
up some social pyramid
Or at least
some one with
An aggressive
intention to ruthlessly rise.
Whilst in others’
eyes
It just shows
that
You are a
mechanised rat.
