CITY ZOO
Poem by Vivian Yeiser Laramore
The tick of time is out of rhyme,
Where wild things wait for death,
Watching the stars through iron bars,
And breathing each other's breath.
But little man with his civic plan,
To conquer and subdue,
Acquires a thrill from broken will,
Of beasts in the city zoo.

Very powerful Mirenchu. I love the poem, though harsh as it is.

But little man with his civic plan,
To conquer and subdue,

That is so true. :(

Excellent poem, Mirenchu.

How about something in your words? :)

[Julie Kenward]

Great poem to match the image but I agree with Lance...try a hand at it in your own words! That photo is priceless...

May I suggest?

Animals' lives spent in cages
Humanity? It's outrageous!

There's the starter for ya, :)
