An Orphic Song

I never saw a savage thing
Feel sorry for itself
Or beg for help.

I’ve only seen civilized beings
Hang their heads in sorrow
For tomorrow.

The more the land is took by man
A silence will be gone
And thrust upon

Our ears an unending long span
Of agitated moans
Of “I’m alone!”
Of “I’ve no one”
On, on and on.

Loved the title. I could not have expressed it better.
Very well composed and accurate concepts in this creation.
I like it very much. Sameen, the concepts expressed though, I do not like and I lean with you.....the delivery is succinctly superb.
