POEM: THE DEAD CROW BY A SAMAD SAID: LITERAL MEANING

He saw a dead crow
in a drain
near the Post Office,
He saw an old man
gasping for air
And a baby barely able to breathe
In a crowded morning clinic
This land is so rich
Why should we suffer like this?

I want clean air
For my grandchildren
I want the damned fools
To leave the forest alone,
I want the trees to grow,
The rivers run free
And the earth covered with grass.
Let the politicians plan how
we may live with dignity
Now and always

yep.its what humans should read!!really2x should read..

I also like it...

can i add some poem???

yes no problem... you create another topic..

To-morrow,and to-morrow,and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.Out,out,brief candle!
Life`s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more;it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

'damned fools'merujuk kepada siapa?

woah, it's very nice
keep going on
