On Greetings

A Nature's Reminder

Once, not so long ago,

Our project class was staggered

When an unexpected visitor

Trying to get in, was on the go,

And seemingly saying hello started,

Despite no one was his protector

It didn't come as you might be thinking,

It once came over

Scratching, wishing to shake our hands

With an inviting nodding

Was reminding us this life game isn't over

It is rather an opportunity for this land

Our climate change project

Was the subject of a God's creature

Looking at us through the window glass

So perfect, free, and relaxed

Belonging to the outdoors, it wanted to get in

Contradictory? You might believe.

This was exactly describing

How life nowadays evolves,

Living in a contradictory world

Animals don't know where they belong

People their habitats all the time are intruding

Bumping into, it and I  are coinciding.

In this world of differences,

It, you and I to coincide,

Shouldn't be a coincidence,

But rather a warning, as a pride

A pride to coincidentally abide

For a better future without offenses.

This greenish greeting iguana,

Came to invite herself

Offering us to become our pet

But iguanas are not tamed

Nor they can be our companions

The Almighty wanted us  to defend our fauna.
