CIRCUS

Yesterday evening as I closed my art workshop
And headed for the Ring-a-ling circus" big top
Excitement built up in me as I waited for a bus to stop
And take me to see wild animals do a mean hip hop!

On the ride, I wondered if this thing is really fair
What if unfortunately humans too had lived in a lair
And were trapped and forced to hop in the air
Even beg for their food - just basic simple fare!

I realized just how awful we humans have become
In our hunger for power, we are so cruel to some
Who are like us animals too, often more wholesome
Oh to what a sad state of affairs has humanity come!
