We love to chain

Slavery is in our veins
when your grand child arrives
let him free
don’t put him in a pram
then see
man is not as independent as birds and bees
we all love overpowering mystery
happy be the animal kingdom,
they learn faster than you and me

Where was god
when we were born,
don't ask me
we all are free
take it from me
but dependent human beings

A miniscule few are born leaders
so don't belittle the animal kingdom

When the human was first found on the earth,
he was asked to revere Allah with faith;
The most merciful and the most gracious,
who granted us endless pleasures, precious.

He said:"to gain Al Ferdaws, the Paradise,
you Man, construct and pay a valued price."

But the Man cruelly destructed instead.
He ravaged the earth; and overly shed
the blood; he hadn't any taste of mercy
upon the old, nor the young of worthy.
He potently followed the earthy law,
the heaven's left behind, blown in raw.

A bird is well-designed to fly:
why put it in a cage?
A dog is built to run for miles:
why keep it on a chain?

A fish would obviously prefer
to swim in open sea,
or a lake or swirling river:
a bowl looks wrong to me!

All moving creatures have evolved
to survive when they're free:
why hold them in captivity?

'God placed them here for clever man
to use as he thinks fit! '
a pompous judge once answered this.

The old forest tree is sad.
Her crown of branches raises high,
barren of green leaves.

Her thick, buttress roots
spread across the weeping ground,
where its breath, halted.

The forest is ruined,
for the sake of Man's dream called
Civilization.

They know not the truth?!
The trees are Natures' temples
where beasts seek shelter.

Their roots brace the earth,
joining a sea of grasses,
offering their strength.
