Poem
Babylonia : Part Two - Noah’s walk Pandas chew bamboo, while you film them in the nude; Red Elephants are extinct (Apart from a view). Fly up high, escape the zoo’s! The latest attraction is a Man named Hu. Hu Man? Strange, he’s not humane. Seize him and lock him up in a cage. Tiger claws shall keep him in place, Until the Cock crows to tell us, That the night time has come upon us once again. With the darkness, come the Creepy Crawlies, The Snakes (The Adders, the Pythons and the Cobra’s). The Tarantula is being chased by the big bad Wolf, Whilst the Bear has been poisoned, By the Frog beneath his foot. Owls spin their heads, as Buffalo’s charge away from the herd. The Elephants follow the Rhino’s. Such a noise to be heard. Armadillo’s watch the Ant Eaters, as they sweep up the path; The path has been created, Thanks to the Rhino’s and Elephants at the head of the pack. Birds squawk, as Eagles fly high. A sure sign that the convoy can once more ride! Ride on out, heading into the future; There has been a calling, for a gathering of creatures. Heaven awaits them, at the end of the rainbow; Every animal is invited, even the Sloth. The Mice sit on the Dogs head, talking to the Fleas; As the Dog sits on the Donkey, Who has lost his legs to disease. The Gorillas carry them all aloft, On bamboo rafts they found perchance. As they sit upon the Elephant, Who is being carried by a million Ants. Gazelle’s rush past, with Cheetah’s in pursuit. The Jackals stuck in the Bracknell; They’ve lost the Cheetahs and their food. But the Hippo will defend the Jackal, from the Crocodile; As the Parrots collect the fruit, To lay a path down the Green Mile. For many shall pass through, whilst some will pass on, But the way has now been eroded, So at least we can see where we are going. Follow the food, come one, come all. Share it with everyone, there’s plenty more. The Lions roar “Get out of the way!” More Elephants and Rhinos are coming through, To destroy and to build us a way. The Chimpanzees are jumping and screaming… Babylonia! Babylonia! The Animal Garden of Eden! Big one’s up front please, little one’s behind. Get off the trail if you get caught short; Someone please be a guide for the blind. Make them walk the Conga in a straight line, Like you were taught, before. Hello Rabbits. Feeling savage? The Deaf need directing, but they just won’t hear of it. We need you to keep them in line and on time; Do you think you can manage? Will do Noah (The Kangaroo), The way we breed, we could Rabbit Surf them around Egypt, If you asked us to. Mr. Giraffe, could you please not do that? You are stopping the sun, from shining on the Cats. All you Bats, change places with the Cats. I’d move if I were you, Rats. Foxes and Weasels, go down the side. You are used to cross country; you don’t need to follow the line. Badgers, Moles, Shrews and Field Mice, Stop playing with the Worms; Take the underground; it’s dark, but nice. Vampire Bats! Stop that! He may look dead, but he is just very old. Sorry Mr. Tortoise, But it’s not their fault they have no soul. Penguins and Polar Bears, stand behind the Elephants, When they wash themselves with water. All the Sea Creatures took another route, To get to the Babylonian border. Heaven for all Animals, such a beautiful sight. Not one bar to be seen…It is paradise. It has Roaches and Bird droppings and no view of the Sea. It has a jungle, trees, fresh air and the Animals are free. Free to breed and free to catch disease, Free to live or die, depending on their destiny. Now ten thousand years later, A Babylonian Paradise is still thriving… Not a machine, not a cage, Not a human in sight…it is truly amazing. (C)2013 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
