Poem Title:
Poem
Something caught my attention while I was walking down-town. Something rather odd and sad happened. I motioned and strolled leisurely across the street. Something averted my gaze away from a pretty, petite girl on the other side of the street. O what a strong distraction! Or is this just instinctual wandering of my brain? No, something green crossed my path in close proximity. My gaze reverberated off the beauty to a green, little frog near my feet. Oh what a magnificent creation of evolutionary work! Wow a frog in such a civilization. What brings it here? I wondered curiously. It stopped in front of me as if demanding my attention. I scanned the frog inquisitively, it was afflicted apparently. I was oblivious to the transparent plastic around his neck. A tight plastic constricted his neck, I could sense his breath shortening. Oh no! He was on his last legs. I removed the plastic in his neck, but it was too late. The little frog gave up, it lay there motionlessly with its eyes open wide. He passed away, what a pity. I caught myself in a deep sea of thoughts, life ended in front of my eyes. Goodbye little friend… One tear cascaded down my left cheek. But why are we so indifferent? Yes, us the humans. Why does civilization matter to us more than anything? Why is it slipping our mind that we share mother Earth with “others”? Unlike our ancient homo ancestors we have sophisticated brains…Why not use them wisely? They deserve a chance to live like us. Let us love them and protect them for this is not only a human planet. Goodbye little friend…
