Life through the eyes, of a lowly beast, who endured the apocalypse…and reflects on the history of man.( Images, courtesy of Google)
We have watched you, since the moment of your birth,
We have seen your hours of sorrow and mirth,
We have witnessed your growth, your maturation, your life,
As a grim faucet fills ours minds with strife.
You seemed so harmless, when you were so little,
But as you grow, as does the world brittle,
For when you stand, on your own two feet,
Chaos, Carnage, Catastrophe does meet.
You claim, to act in righteous bearing,
though you care not, how the rest of us be faring,
For you have but one, relentless conviction,
You destroy, to keep you insatiable greed at submission.
Blind to the facts, smouldering around you,
The great majority, out-voicing the sensible few,
Living each day, as though the next is at hand,
Until your flesh and bones reduce to sand.
But there is simply one truth i will share,
One that cannot be changed, through action or prayer,
for all sins committed, retribution shall there be,
And oh what a glorious sight, for us to see.
As our oppressors, murderers, and slavers fall,
We grow jubiliant, ecstasy for all,
for even though the evils done where great,
the sinners, deserved, their befitting fate.
A pang of sorrow, strikes my heart,
for even if they were rampant with upstart,
There were few, who were a race apart,
who did not relish blasphemy, as a dainty iced tart.
If only they had more strength, more power,
and off course, many more an hour,
but they should have realized then,
that for there to be change, there must be unity among men.
And so the race, fell as the trees they slew,
And from the ashes of the world, our species grew,
And though our hunger is quick to be sate,
We did learn, a single human trait.
And so on this day, we pay homage,
to those who revelled not, in the fall of foliage,
To those precious few, who made a stand,
To do the right thing, to share this land.
We shared kindness.That trait, that lets us give, even when none will be given to us, simply because, it is the right thing to do.
Let us learn.
