Somewhere in the World
Somewhere in the world,
an elephant shrieks for help
As it grasps its last breathe
As the warm savannah air becomes frigid
As the men win the coercive melee
Under the enigmatic moon
Somewhere in the world,
a polar bear wakes from its sleep
As the miserable winter turns into flourishing spring
As her cubs watch their first dazzling sunrise
As she uses her last remaining strength
To feed her cubs in pain
Somewhere in the world,
a seagull walks on the sand
As the ocean sings a rhythmical song
As the sun uncovers a placid land
As the waves bring refuse to enclose the beach
Where the seagull is stuck to its death
Somewhere in the world,
I look out of the window
At the land the elephant once stood majestically
At the water the polar bear once swam candidly
At the sky the seagull once flew painlessly
And I breathe a lungful of this earthly air
Because in this world,
I live with flaws that I don’t change
As men exist in their yellow land of greed
As the world is altered and broken
As we repeatedly blindfold our eyes
To continue on my own
