All Living Things Love Life II
Written many moons ago; Writ by life-observer poets; Scribbbled scrutinies and comments; Detailed now on TV shows: Perils menacing or imminent; Calloused killings of the other, That despite all men are brothers; Pain or dread; The many dead. Frog, fly, ant Stepped, crushed without stop or conscience - Well, what can one say! Living things that pant for breath Robbed of air from man to plant. Air, the global element, Constituent shared by us all: And still We ****. Implausible! Impossible! But actual This second as thought formulates; Loved beings each transported To a valueless oblivion. We watch offhandedly, Or helpless, mourn.
