The dolphins leap and dance with grace,
Their playful spirit fills the space.
But deep within their eyes I see,
A longing for the open sea.
Their smiles are masks that hide the pain,
Of captive life that's not the same.
No freedom to explore and roam,
Their spirits yearn for a home.
We watch in awe and hold our breath,
As they perform their tricks to death.
But as the show comes to an end,
Our hearts are heavy, we comprehend.
The sadness of their captive plight,
The loss of freedom, day and night.
We leave the show with heavy hearts,
And vow to play a better part.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

This was so sad 😭😭😭😭😭 It's the bitter truth. They belong in the wild, in their natural habitat. They are not here in this world to entertain us. Loved your poem!
Such a sad and heartfelt piece. Such a great reminder that although we enjoy seeing the animals, we've taken them from their homes and it isn't right. You did a beautiful job portraying the consequences of selfish human choices. Great piece and very powerful message, Quincy!
I agree with Mohammed. And thanks for sharing.
Yes. Animals captured simply to entertain us is not right. Beautiful poem!
