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
