Bear on an Iceberg

Sittin' on a bench.
Sippin' my fave thirst quench.
Feelin' the soft breeze.
Tastin' the sweetness of the wind.
Suddenly...something has caught my attention.
A photo of an animal.
Thrown beside a garbage can.
Its a fat polar bear.
A bear riding on an iceberg.
Seeing it make me feel sad.
Something inside me is cryin'.
The guilt is in my heart.
A photo with no caption.
A photo of thousand words.
A fat bear with a sad face.
He's goin' nowhere.
Goin' nowhere.

A photo with no caption.
A photo of thousand words.
Poor bear's eyes.
Sad, crying eyes.
Eyes that speak to me.
"Child, look at me now".
"My fur, my cubs, my home".
"My own kind..the animals"
"We want to live".
"I'm goin' nowhere".
"We're goin nowhere".
"Goin' nowhere".

Will I ever see him again.
A photo with no caption.
A photo of thousand words.
A lesson learned from an animal.
If sacrifice comes with great rewards.
Happiness are twin of sadness.
We enjoy while they suffer.
He's goin' nowhere.
They're goin' nowhere.
