Why do you think the small animals have 'bitter eyes'?
Answers
Answer:
ask sometimes why these small animals
With bitter eyes, why we should care for them.
I question the sky, the serene blue water,
But it cannot say. It gives no answer.
And no answer releases in my head
A procession of grey shades patching and whimpering;
Dogs with clipped ears, wheezing cart horses,
A fly without shadow and without thought.
Is it with these menaces to our vision
With this procession led by a man carrying wood
We must be concerned? The holy land, the rearing
Green island should be kindlier than this.
Yet the animals, our ghosts, need tending to.
Take in the whipped cat and the blinded owl;
Take up the man-trapped squirrel upon your shoulder.
Attend to the unnecessary beasts.
From growing mercy and a moderate love
Great love for the human animal occurs.
And your love grows. Your great love grows and grows.
Answer:
because they are misused by human being
