Question

Read the text:

THE WEB OF LIFE
I have killed the rabbit
I have crushed the grasshopper
And the plants he feeds upon.
I have cut through the heart
I have taken fish from water
And birds from the sky.
In my life I needed death
So that my life can be.
When I die, I must give life
To what has nourished me.
The Earth receives my body
And gives it to the caterpillars
To the birds
And to the coyotes,
Each in its own time so that
The web of life is never broken.
