Chapter 1:- Twinkle, Twinkle Crying Star
TWINKLE, TWINKLE CRYING STAR
If
each elephant envisions
erroneous epithets,
while wombats wander worldwide
wordlessly wondering why,
If
mongooses maintain mostly
morose monthly monologues,
and aardvarks are aimlessly
avoiding all affection -
If
poor pious possums ponder
plaintive, painful platitudes,
confused, caustic cattle can’t
compose cud coherently,
If
wounded woodpeckers worry
while with wiggly, witless worms,
cautious, crying crocodiles
cannot contemplate chaos -
If
reptiles reject regression,
eagles equate erosion,
dolphins detest dire dogma,
camels cringe collectively,
If
horses have hemorrhages,
bears bare begrudging burdens,
tortoises try to tunnel,
owls oust outlandish options,
And
skunks smell sudden suicide -
If
domesticated doggies
dig diligently deeper,
foreseeing falcons flying
forever forward from fear -
And
coy cockroaches can’t complain -
Wouldn’t it be safe to say
that God’s more evolved creatures
see what we refuse to see,
hear what we refuse to hear,
fear what we refuse to fear?
