“The Human Zoo” by: Marilyn Griffin
As I peer out…
I see forms strolling about…
They peer back…
Some holding a small sack…
They throw a few my way…
Some just on the ground lay…
I pick up a few…
Maybe one or two…
It seems to make them smile…
As they hide denial…
Of what my life could have been…
In jungle way back when…
Why do you want me caged? …
Dying from sadness and age…
Viewing something unseen…
As closer in you lean…
You with your faces …
Of different races…
I love my home too…
I didn’t choose… to live in this zoo!

i think the feeling sad hits me now. your words, “dying from sadness and age…” makes me think about nursing homes.
animals in zoos…make me sad…
Interesting and somewhat discombobulating ideas here. :)
I really don’t like the idea of captured animals…I know it’s a way for us to see in the flesh…animals we would never be able to see…but, I find it sad…
