The Animal Giraffe

[earth-angel]

Long necked gentle creature
Why are your soft brown eyes so sad?
Do your winged ears
Sense the changing times


Long necked gentle creature
Will your neck go on growing forever?
Can we trace the roads of Africa?
On your smooth brown skin?


Long necked gentle creature
Your symmetry lies on you
Like a jigsaw puzzle
Can we ever find the missing piece?


Long necked creature
With your swift and graceful run
Can we escape from the future
And remain untouched by a man?
