Oops, the Human Zoo

As a girl. I skipped into to the garden, humming “Mary Lou.” 
        Twas no fun at all, discovering the adult, mean, human zoo!

Oh yes, you're skipping along through life and then there are the dark ones, boom! Never seems to fail, does it? Well done.

Oh, our world full of beauty , but also a variety of souls like the wildlife some gentle and loving and others venomous. Great verse my friend.

True. Wildlife at times hurt one another. Humankind. Far more vicious. In words or blogs. Facebook! Worse. I am not up fot that madness. I’d rather share my personal life in a poem. Thank you. Panagiota

The human zoo is certainly not as fun, I'd rather look at bears and giraffes!

Michelle, hello. Indeed, this topic is a sensitive one. You saw my comment to Tom. I just am aware of the agony people cause each other. It seems we could put down the boxing gloves and quit punching one another. I do know how sweet and kind the surface of the water appears. And below swim the sharks. I am so gullible, it makes things worse. Glad you came by, Panagiota

Those happy carefree days as a child when everything was well with the world. But as we get older we see the rot everywhere Tom

Hi Tom! Meaness, deception, back-stabbing seems the way of the world. People are adored for it I mean…in personal relationships perhaps There is some good to come out of the madness? I know we are not to honor man as God, simply because no man or woman on earth created it. The female species wants God to be a woman? Really? A woman hanging on a cross? Shows the zoo we nutcases live in. We think that we are supreme beings who can control the climate, wars disease pestilence you name it. Man has made himself God hence the zoo. Will the main zookeeper …..please stand up? Thanks Tom.
