If They Could Speak

Haiku 4 You

If animals speak,

Would everyone's troubles grow small?

Or would we spiral,

Into a forbidden chaos?

----- ------- -----

What would a wolf say?

Would they scold us for what we did?

For leaving the world,

A mess and distraught across all.

----- ------- -----

What would ocean do?

If it acted on its pained depths?

A tsunami's hate,

The hurricane's reckless desire.

    Unfortunately, we ruin the world, kill wildlife and nature and maim humans. Sadly, the world is witness. The animals and trees would have much to say.
