doing it for the ones
not the twos
not the fours
doing it for the ones
the knockers
who stand at the doors
may this sink deep into the pores
of the poor, that they may be fed
that they may hunger no more
the bear who does not care
sits and stares at honey bees
fluttering about the trees
this is where the story unfolds
a child falls through a loophole
to save the tot “BANG”
a gorilla gets shot
when the news was published
the white lion picked his paws
sucking his teeth without surprise
he had bit a man’s head off and ate it
for that he was only sedated
