This was inspired by "March of the Penguins" & also something I saw in another nature video suggesting that things are not always the norm even in nature.
Pierre, the sad ***** penguin,
tries to understand
why the one he chooses for his mate
won’t take his hand.
He sees his tribe all caring
for their eggs, as God had planned
and wishes he were part of it.
He finds it all so grand.
Pierre is led by instinct too
but there alone must stand -
untouched - and ever pondering
in frigid polar land.

Motif is nature but the underlying motif is philosphical
