THROUGH THE EYES OF A CRITTER

The Folly of Man

The water is my home,
it is wonderfully vast,
the land my only border,
my days are a blast.
My food is always plenty,
my family always near,
my home is my kingdom
there is nothing that I fear.

But that now has changed
for there is something amiss,
my family is dying...
what is all of this ?
It's heavy and dark
and I can not breathe,
I can't get it off,
I just can't believe...

That my pod is all dying,
my home is now too,
our food makes us sick,
there's nothing we can do.
We heard it's the humans
that made this big mess,
now it's killing our home,
they dont care about us...

They intrude in our home,
drill deep in our beds,
take from us without care,
somethings wrong with their heads...
it's as if they dont know
the effects they create,
then something goes wrong,
it's all part of fate....

If you take from the circle,
you must give something back,
but, they've taken so much,
we've stopped keeping track.
We stay out of their reach
as best as we can,
but we can not escape
this latest folly of man.

Chapter four

An Acrostic poem

~CHILDREN~

 

Chubby cheeks when they are born,   

Handfulls at two and three,                

In the years to come they grow so fast,

Loving them, we set them free...            

Daring and dashing on their own,        

Reckless in love as can be                      

Engagement, marriage, they become      

New parents of cheeks so chubby            

 

 

YOUR TURN

ENJOY
