“I have not seen
The likes of it!”
Reads a caption
On a Facebook
Uploaded u-tube
That fails not
To immediately
Grab attention.
A bird is seen drawing
Close to a pool
With a speed
Starved fishes to feed
Fishes, eagerly awaiting it
To regurgitate
And drop a seed.
I reflected
Making a paradigm shift
If a bird
In a way that seems absurd
Shows such magnanimity
How then we fail
To maintain unity?
Men are becoming on
Neighbors brutal
Inflicting an attack fatal,
While animals
Are becoming humanistic
In a way that is fantastic.
