I’m pleased to announce that my poem “Let Man Lay Down Rifles to be Ally” is published on Gobblers by Masticadores today! I am very grateful to Manuela Timofte and her staff for publishing this special piece.
I hope you all enjoy!
Let Man Lay Down Rifles to be Ally
If only humans could absorb lessons
From the largest mammals walking the earth.
Their big hearts bursting with kind expressions,
A principle understanding golden worth.
If only humans would shed their black greed,
Knives and guns stealing an innocent life.
Torturing for the sale of ivory
Beneath a darkened sky, spine-chilling cries...

We certainly could learn a lot from animals.
We sure could, Binky!
Just left a note over at Gobblers. Wonderful, important words, Lauren. We’re stewards on this planet, not kings or executioners; we must take care of our world and stop the destruction. I’m with you on this 100%, my friend. šš
Thanks so much, Mike. I’ll head over there after I finish replying to you here. š You agree with me and I agree with you 100%. And your choice of words is spot on: “Weāre stewards on this planet, not kings or executioners…” The evil that lies in some human beings is unimaginable. Thanks again for your wonderful words and support, my friend. ā¤ļøš
