Once I was in a park and I saw
Unreasoning animals , creatures of instincts
How they multiply to raise their offsprings
It was a male lion mounting female one
They think better than men
Once I was in a foreign land and I saw
In the midst of technology and Civilizations
Men made in the image of their God
Reasoning beings , creatures of insight
Doing unthinkable before my eyes
Once I returned in a zoo and I saw
A Giant Panda feeding her young ones
She disciplined those that went a stray
And in the evening she gathered them around
All the night she watched over the little ones
Once I observed in human society and I saw
How orphans were being treated
Thieves and swindlers drove them to streets
Fathers failed to look after their own families
Society became flooded with unruly creatures
Once on my tour to oceans and I saw
On my capsizing boat I cried for help
A pod of dolphins came to my aid
On their backs they carried me to offshore
They smiled broadly at me and dived back
Once walking on streets and I saw
Traffic lights turned red and I was crossing
A voracious driver knocked me down
In my pain I saw " selfies smartphones"
My friends wrote on their websites " RIP"
I returned to forest and I saw
Bees were busy in their empire
No greed nor self ambitions in their society
Maximum cooperation produced their honey
I fell in love with animals

- Comment from author about the poem: Let's learn from nature ... It seems in our society there is no longer a place for equality and justice .. but this can be done and it ought to be done by us . What are we waiting for? Let's preach the gospel again and make the world know Jesus Christ the Saviour
