Road kill on our highways <br />carcasses just left to lie. <br />Snow melts to then reveal <br />what now does not come <br />soothing to ones eye. <br /> <br />Mangled, half decomposed <br />unrecognizable beasts. <br />All left to the elements <br />birds and others, which upon do feast. <br /> <br />Why couldn't one at least remove them? <br />Possibly transfer them to an unmarked grave? <br />What are we all becoming? <br />Are their life's worth less than ours? <br />For are we not really, somewhat all the same? <br /> <br />Flesh and blood, and same need for love <br />rearing offspring on forest fields of green. <br />Sorrow when loss of ones taken spouse <br />crying silently <br />do we humans not understand of these? <br /> <br />I feel deeply sorrowed when this I view <br />what may not really affect any of you. <br /> <br />But, if we do not have thought for the least of these <br />then why should anyone care more for me? <br /> <br />Lying along a roadside one day <br />my life now also, be left just fading away. <br /> <br />Covered by time, now an unrecognizable frame <br />Those not caring to bury, who now to blame?<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/does-anybody-care-2/
