Zoo Animals

Free Indeed


Ever been to a zoo
and the animals are
lethargic and bored
with nothing to do?

The elephants are blah!
Living up to their 
shades of gray
with a trudge trudge...

The monkeys pretend
they don't see you.
They groom and they
preen for themselves.  

How would you 
feel if it was the 
other way around?  
With them watching you?

Now some animals 
get space to roam free
and pretend 
they're not far from home.  

Because animals 
matter to some 
people who care.
Welcome Home!

I went to the zoo recently and discovered a new exhibit that let's the animals roam and run.  It was the coolest thing to see.  Sometimes it's sad seeing animals with no elbow room.
