70 Years Ago <br />Riding through the flat ancient agricultural between <br />two the soft modulation of a stone less mountains <br />this place has every could green from the dark olive <br />to shimmering bushes so delicate it looks like air <br />temporarily has taken a green plant´s form? <br />Something is missing though an animal that brought <br />us humans up the ladder of civilisation: the donkey. <br />Look into its eyes; know the final chapter is missing. <br />Those beautiful eyes so full of sweet melancholy <br />A resignation of the cruelty of life after serving man <br />It ended up as dog food for spoilt pooches that are <br />so totally enslaved by us that they could not survive <br />in nature´s hard selection. Is that why we have wars <br />to separate the wheat from the chaff?<br /><br />oskar hansen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/70-years-ago/
