Poems about Animals
one of my female students
walks to my office
body expression shaken
like her life is about to be taken
Torn ears, my body battered and bruised, like a rotten apple.
Just a rotten apple, rotting in yesterdays' garbage.
When will we learn?
When will we cry?
We’re letting our planet burn,
We’re letting it die.
We love you more than we even love ourselves.
We live to be loved.
Your attention and loving hands embrace us.
I was a good boy,
Thankful and proud,
I wasn’t too nosey
And I wasn’t too loud.
