I drove across a lonely road in country side and saw a young dead horse by the road side


the horse died

I drove across a road
and by the side I saw
a young dead horse left to rot
by the humans who live in mansions
and call themselves civilized and sane
they used this horse to pull and carry
and when it of no use was left to them

they as per their instincts and nature
let the horse die and rot
didn't it deserve a proper funeral ?
some flowers on its grave ?
or didn't he have a precious life at all?

What a sad story. I'm sure many people would agree with your sentiments, Mirza. Unfortunately we live in a world where people can be very unthinking. Blessings, Allen
