A Game of Cat and Mouse

In our world there are predators and victims.
Our first thoughts are about serial killers,
rapists, muggers and drive by shootings.

We also think of sexual predators who 

victimize women and children.

There are lots of people like that in our world.

Predators do awful things and some 

sexually and physically abuse wives, 

children, girl friends  and relatives.

It's like a game of cat and mouse, and cats

love to play with mice before they eat them.

Orcas do the same thing with seals and

like cats they enjoy the fear in their prey.

People do the same thing as cats and Orca's.

It makes me wonder why human beings

enjoy hurting, torturing and killing others.

I wonder why they enjoy the fear in others,

enjoy hearing their screams and their pleas.

But there is another group of predators,

bullies who pick on weak kids and 

make them cry and scream.

They pick on those kids so often again and

again and they enjoy hurting them with

words and violence and embarassing them

in front of their peers.

The game of cat and mouse 

can also take place in the work place.

Men sexually harass women and 

some times they touch them in private places.

But men and women also play games

of cat and mouse with their own gender.

These cat and mouse games at work

make each day of work hell for someone.

What's wrong with them? 

Why do they enjoy hurting others so much?

Were they bullies during their school days?

I wonder why so many who watch while

others play a game of cat and mouse 

and do nothing, don't help the victims.

Do they enjoy watching the game  

of cat and mouse like a sporting event,

with front row seats at the work place?

Are they afraid to report those cat and

mouse games because they are worried

that they may be next? Are they cowards?

As for me, I want the games of cat and mouse

to end, NO MORE PREDATORS

AND VICTIMS. Let's put a stop to them.
