Zebras

I was thinking about life the another day And how we are made to live it day to day It seems that you don’t want to be The one who stands out from the pack you see Don’t be the best or nicest looking in the pack alone So that predators see you first to make a target easily shown Remember zebras are striped to blend together Not to camouflage with nature forever So if you want to live life comfortably through Keep your stripes and blend into the crowd is what to do But if you want to fight and stand out Paint yourself red and dance loudly about. © Paul Warren Poetry
