Once upon a time
In a land not so far away
Wait, Sorry that was right here
Last summer this very day
I bought three bunnies
black white and grey.
before bringing them in
I worked all things out
built three wooden warrens
poured milk in separate bowls
As I put them down
like a precious prize
what they did then and there
took me by surprise.
All three baby rabbits
latched onto the same cup
like allies in a fight pit
they went slurp slurp slurp
But I tried to let that slide
maybe they were hungry and dazed
Later that night I put them to bed
in their wooden boxes side by side
Waking up the next day
what I saw blew me away
cuddling together in one box
there they were cozy and gay
Do they fail to see
the difference in their color
like we the "righteous" humans do!
Don't they feel superior to one another
like we with our clever conscience do!
Are we the savages or are they?
Is humanity just a cliche?
From cavemen to civil beings
are we too evolved to see
Death doesn't discriminate
So why should we?
