Common dolphins came ashore, <br />Maybe thirty or more, <br />On this beach in Brazil, <br />People showed a will. <br /> <br />As they heard the wails, <br />They grabbed their tails, <br />Pulling out to sea, <br />So they could flee. <br /> <br />To follow each other, <br />As a child their mother. <br />A visitor from above, <br />Would see their love. <br /> <br />With a greater worth <br />Than much on this earth. <br />If only our pride <br />Would let them guide. <br /> <br />They're more humane, <br />Than those who reign. <br />I leave a plea, <br />To keep them free.<br /><br />Stephen Katona<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thirty-dolphins-came-ashore/
