Mercy
A small bird with broken wings
Left to die by all that pass
A soul which once fluttered across the great expanse of sky
Now lies twisted and broken upon the ground
And I am left to ask
"Is there no mercy?"
A majestic jaguar
The lonely king of the jungle
Now he is a king without a kingdom
And is left to die in a cage
And I am left to ask
"Is there no mercy?"
Or even better a question
Was there ever any mercy in the first place?
Have we all turned a blind eye...
Or do we enjoy their suffering?
