1 thought on “Doves’ View”

1. Far away from the manger
   thorn crown ‘round his head
   the man they call Jesus
   hangs from a cross, dead.

   The doves in the sky
   look down in dismay:
   ‘why did the man, Jesus
   have to die this way?’
   ====================

   Doves looked left and right,
   and saw such a sight:
   All of Earth’s wildlife
   Suffers a similar plight

   Conibeared along a road
   Family standing by,
   Mother wolf wondering
   Why did my puppy die?

   Bobcat in a trap
   Paw is burning hot
   Sees a man, hopes for help
   But no, help it’s not

   Cougar in a tree
   Ignores the barking pack
   Knows her kittens welcome
   When she gets them back

   One death matters naught
   but here we see a pattern
   The self-described sapiens
   are much less than slattern
