I want to apologise to all those ants and bugs I stepped
over,
The spiders I smashed with some object against a surface,
The worms I misguided from their respective ways,
The bees I closed my windows on,
The cockroaches I sprayed away,
The chicks I savoured
And the lambs I gorged on.
For they were the small lives,
The little souls with
All the fucking right to live.
I’m not the best human being,
But I’m trying, trying
And trying.
I can only wish in that little time
of their lives they flew, they glided,
they hovered, they felt, and they loved.
And they loved the ones whom they flew with!
I’m not the best human being,
But for these sins
I’m dying, dying
and dying.
Oh No,.. Never fall in this thought trap, which has since aeons caged and scaffolded many independent minds. Look at it this way, you can't ask the bug or spiders to move away from your personal territory. I mean if the critters have a right to personal territory, so do you. If they are opaque to sensible communication and rights sharing, you have every right to enforce your rights, in a way, to safeguard your skin from insect bites, etc. I see know harm in what you have done. Yet, this piece indicates a sensitive and caring mind. As they say remorse for you animal instinct (Impulsive Reflexes). So rest assured, you are a kind and noble heart, and this piece is the proof.
ReplyDeletewhat you're saying makes total sense. But this whole thing makes me feel sad. I'd rather wish to be one of those creatures so that people could kill me without even realising.
Deleteif you are really dying, have a wish not an apology :)

Deletethe lesser mortals don't have much to wish for, do they?
