THE JUNGLE
February 22, 2017 By Elizabeth A.Kaine
Lions and tigers dominate
Headlines from the jungle
But mostly gentle folks are these
Rabbits and beavers in lonely lair
A nightingale sings in the fetid air
Ah yes
The wolves and skunks run free
Fattening on innocents they see
The people
See only the lions and tigers
Whom they fear
For the quiet ones with frightened eyes
No one shed a tear
