Empathy Among The Species

Accidental Poet

 

Intelligence in Earth bound creatures

Emotions of love, friendship, and compassion

Understanding between the species

Respect of life mutually rationed

 

Dolphins, whales, apes, and humans

Communication among thinking brains

Maybe, just maybe someday

We’ll know each other by names

 

From Father Heaven

And Mother Earth

We’re all born of love

Custodians of heavenly work

 

A universal language

Written in the pages of love

They say, “What goes around, comes around”

Remember watchful stars above

 

We belong to the Earth

Not it to us

Life here is a gift

Must we argue and fuss?

 

There’s a life-force in everything

The steady tick of the clock

Like the heartbeat of time

Even between a tree and rock

 

Compassion for all things

Love grows from many pieces

A glorious day it’ll be

Empathy among the species

    Very well written, AP! And what a glorious day it would be! But I don't think it will happen in our lifetime.

    • Accidental Poet

      One never knows. Thanks for the read Fred. ; )

    • Fay Slimm.

      I agree wholly with this inspiring write -- empathy among species is what I believe was originally meant. Thank you for posting this needed reminder.

      • Accidental Poet

        Thanks Fay, it was just something that popped into my head one day and I knew I had to build off of it. The idea that the intelligent beings on our planet need to be more in touch with each other. And I honestly think the other species would be complaining of how we humans are disturbing the natural workings of the planet and it's affecting how the other species live. We humans really need to get our act together or the sake of all life on the planet. Thanks for reading and your compliment Fay. ; )

        A fine write AP. Erm, since when was ........ intelligent? (fill in own answer!) lol.

        • Michael Edwards

          Is it 'a baked bean' Orchi ?

          • orchidee

            Oh lol M. My own answer is \'anyone in Eastenders\'! Or if in USA - the most ghastliest TV soap you can imagine! Oh I hate that Mr Potato-Head that's in it (Phil Mitchell. heehee).

            • Michael Edwards

              I thought Mr potato-Head was a footballer.

                Since when was MAN intelligent? I think we've reversed the process of man's learning. As we obviously are not learning from our mistakes. : /

              • Michael Edwards

                as they would say in the UK Parliament: 'My honourable friend makes a good point'. Fine write AP

                • Accidental Poet

                  Thanks Michael. I do appreciate your reading and compliment. ; )

                  Your poem, to me, describes the Fifth Dimension, toward which we are rapidly moving as a fellow sentient species. Well expressed, AP!

                • Goldfinch60

                  Very good write AP and so true. It may happen one day when all agree that the world needs nurturing and we all love each other but it is a long way off at the moment, I don't think I will see it in this life though.

                  Unfortunately, neither do I. Thanks for stopping in to read and compliment Goldie. ; ) ,
