Emilia James Poet Rhyme

Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom

Beautiful creatures large and small
Species which fly, walk, swim or crawl
Respect life, not hastily condemn
Animal kingdom, we're guests among them

Cats, horses, elephants, giraffes
Hyenas with their infectious loud laugh
Zebras, crocodiles, lizards and snakes
Fish that swim in large crystal lakes

Eagles, hawks all raptors of prey
Birds by the water along a sea bay 
Dolphins, whales, urchins that creep
Many size creatures of the blue deep

Consider them all, not steal their land
Man and his greedy money make plan
Less is their food encroach in 'our' space
Only to beat them with sticks and give chase

Hunt them down for a trophy cup win
Shoot them for their ivory and skin
Sickening to what humans will do
Brutality of those savage traps too

Caged in markets for the meat trade
Pain and suffering, eyes all afraid
Man will reap what he does sow
Rise of the animals evolution will grow

Return back their lands, freedom abound 
Animal kingdom wear their own crown
Abuse them no more, lets end this all now
Sacred is life, compassion our vow.

Lindsay Laurie November 15, 2020 at 4:38 PM Hello Emilia … humans neglect to believe that we are an animal species too, and that every living thing has a purpose. Greed in time destroys - thank you Emilia - Lindsay Emilia James November 20, 2020 at 2:14 PM Thank you Lindsay, indeed it does, too much has been lost through greed and ignorance, Emilia : )

Gershon Wolf November 7, 2020 at 6:18 PM Wonderful write about man's cruelty, Emilia... Killing for sport ought to be outlawed everywhere forever. And the habitats that are still left need to be preserved at all costs. Thanks, Gershon Emilia James November 9, 2020 at 11:24 AM Thank you Gershon, 100% agree with all you said, cruelty in any form is a big no no in my book, Emilia : )

Tom Cunningham October 24, 2020 at 9:20 PM Sadly many of these beautiful animals are being hunted to extinction and man doesn't seem to care, all he can see is profit. Tom PS. Did you get on ok with those pics? Emilia James October 25, 2020 at 2:52 PM Sad but true Tom, is usually money or ignorance, cruelty and bullying are two things I dislike the most. Emilia.

Mystic Rose Rose October 24, 2020 at 5:49 PM Abuse them no more and let them live like free creatures. That is the way God intended them to be. Thank you for sharing your compassionate pen.
