Behind Your Life

Behind your life
Lie  many others
Your life has luxury
Your life has compassion
Your life has windows
But outside those windows
Outside the luxuries
Outside the compassion
There is life
At the smallest level
From the stone that lies
From the leaf that falls
From the water that runs
It's important to go out
And witness
The smallest level
Then go up
Go up from the water
Go up from the leaf
Go up from the stone
Then come back
To the compassion
To the luxuries
And to
The window
It is then you will realize
There is more than you thought
Behind your life

Gone Gorilla

Harambe is dead
He was shot in the head
As zoo-goers said
"He needs some milk!"
The Gorilla was well built
Stood tall like a stilt
And walked with a slight tilt
But now he is dead
Some lead in his head
The kid has gone away
But forever he will stay
In our hearts
R.I.P. Harambe
