The animals of the world are becoming stranger

This was inspired by a giraffe in the San Diego Zoo that was euthanized, and a story of frogs who are mutating because of pollution.


The animals of the world are becoming stranger

Diverging from the mean, and man is more the same

The crooked necked giraffe was never laughing,

Gaze at his Orthogonal mottled dusty mane

Savannah dreams, He died alone in shambles,

in the zoo, He died alone in shame

Let Okapi please exist without your knowing

Throughout the forests they fall like unheard trees

All the crippled, mangled deformed creatures

Cohabitated and conserved by concerned pleas

Croak in wetlands, and continue changing

Diminishing covariance of hominoids and animalia

While man grows more the same

Gourd shaped tortoise gene mutation

Two-toned lobster dualistic aberrations

The animals of the world are becoming stranger

Title & Purpose

"You are a king by your own fireside, as much as any monarch in his throne." - Miguel De Cervantes

This quote is the inspiration of this blog. It is my fireside, as humble as it my be, let it shed light on my search for veritas.

Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean...

Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean, roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. Man marks the earth with ruin, but his control stops with the shore. -Lord Byron

When I went home for Christmas, I drove through the neighborhood where I grew up. They tore down my elementary school and my junior high. My Grandparents are growing old and feeble. It's daunting to think how limited my time on earth is, and that someday the very foundations of the shelters that seemed so permanent will be no more than a memory.
