Well, what are you looking at?
We are the same as you
just dwelling in a natural habitat
gentle breezes with greenery as our view.
We are the same as you
enjoying fresh fruit, nuts and seeds
We even partake eating some steak while living at the zoo
although we prefer to have our fresh green weeds.
We are the same as you
we have a mother, father, brother and sister too,
generations that speak to each other, this is true
a smile, a grunt, and even caring for the minor boo-boo.
Protecting and providing for our own
we feed our babies from the breast
and nestle them with a soft caress
we feel the emotions of pain, joy, sadness and stress.
We are the same as you,
our mates at times can act like a shrew
lost in our actions, wondering what did we do?
Illness can touch me and mine
our quest for well-being is the goal
sadly lungs have paid a price
from…
