Meditation 01 (Other) by Blue Magpie
The lion sleeps away his day
he likes to watch his children play.
A dolphin teaches hers to sing
for them it is the natural thing.
Rats will sit for hours in thought
which is perhaps why theirs aren't caught,
and so perhaps it seems quite apt,
that a spider in a web's not trapped.
But we who think we know it all
hardly have time for life at all
and pay to send our kids to gaol
so we can chase some holy grail,
and I must wonder at the gains
that we have garnered with our brains.
