Animals Posted by Fares Jamatte Then on February 14, 2000 at 19:43:18:
I found this one and hope you like it:
I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained; I stand and look at them
long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied - not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is respectable or industrious over the whole earth.
