Poems about Animals
I want to retire
at 21
I’m tired.
And it’s pure laziness
because I haven’t done much yet
I am no Englishman
But I conduct constitutional statements beyond imagination and time
I am no senator
it's brown
it's chocolate
it's smooth
it's soothing
most think i'm referring to a candy
i'm not
That one visit
was all it took
I smiled at him
he wiggled before me
Just a young pup
behind that cage
A generation of sons flown overseas
Those left at home rendered mute although screaming for truth and peace
one of my female students
walks to my office
body expression shaken
like her life is about to be taken
Disease is the reason
For the loss of my loved ones,
And possibly the future
Loss of others.
