The human beast reaches out
The smell of freedom in its snout,
It’s vital signs growing stronger
The hum of traffic - silent no longer-
Shouting over bird song symphony
That has recently kept it company.
The human beast reaches out
The smell of freedom in its snout,
Calloused claws carelessly scarring
Nature’s fragile skin- shedding
Human excrement on its beauty,
Blatantly disregarding civic duty!
The human beast reaches out
The smell of freedom in its snout,
Awakening from its pandemic stupor
Flexing muscles- greed it’s seducer,
Thirst for his old self - desirous!
If only this beast realised - it’s the virus!
