Explanation:
God created man and animals for dwelling on earth. He, the God placed man to a high position than to that of animal. To Walt Whitman, the great American poet, animals are better than man. The poet finds some qualities in animal which man don't have. He expresses these by his poem "Animals".
According to the poet, animals are peaceful and self-contained. They don't complain about anything, on the other hand, humans are crooked and crazy for material things. Humans lie awake at night and cry for the wrong they have done and at last they lose their temper over trifles.
Animals are quite happy, they don't idle away their time discussing their duties to God like a human. He finds that humans don't have those qualities which are shown by the animals such as signs of love, quietness, kindness, selflessness, honesty, patience, sympathy etc. These qualities are absolutely necessary for a glossy life.
He says that for the animals all are equal. He feels the life of a man is full of stress, depression, anxiety, unhappy so he wants to turn away from living with other humans and wants to live in the company of animal for good because he believes that he will get real happiness among animals. After all, he wishes to make a relationship with animals.
Animals is a beautiful poem written by Walt Whitman. It is a satirical poem because the poet criticizes the way of living of man.
The poet says that we human are always crying and running behind the material satisfaction. We always try to owe different things. We are never satisfied. We cry through the night to express our emotions. On the other hand Animals are living very cool life. They never cry of owing the things. They don't struggle for respect and maintaining the respect of forefathers.
Animals are very innocent and self contented. The poet criticizes that we human forgets all the values like innocence, self contentment and purity.
