Poem 30 - A Poet's Plea: In the Eyes of a Camel

In fields of green, where life should bloom,

A tragedy spun its woeful loom.

A farmer's heart, in anger cold,

Turned cruel hands on innocence bold.

A baby camel, soft and meek,

Wandered close, her future bleak.

In search of food, her tender grace,

Met wrath and pain in that cruel place.

He tied her tight, with rope so cruel,

A heartless act, a broken rule.

With axe in hand, he swung so hard,

A life was marred, a soul was scarred.

The baby cried, in agony deep,

Her eyes did plead, her wounds did weep.

No help arrived, no soothing balm,

In fields that should have brought her calm.

Oh, tender heart, sweet camel dear,

Your cries of pain, we deeply hear.

A poet’s soul can feel your plight,

In darkness deep, we seek the light.

Forgive us, please, for those who harm,

For hands that break instead of charm.

Not all are cruel, not all are cold,

Some hearts are pure, with love untold.

Dear camel, lift your eyes to skies,

For justice comes, where truth resides.

On judgment day, the wrongs will mend,

And cruelty’s reign will find its end.

Hold faith, sweet one, in human grace,

For beauty lies in each kind face.

Though shadows fall, the light will rise,

With every tear, compassion flies.

On behalf of all with gentle hearts,

We offer solace for your scars.

In every breath, we stand with you,

In pain, in hope, our spirits true.

So know, dear camel, in your grief,

That some bring love, and sweet relief.

With every word, we mend the past,

With every promise, hold you fast.

For in this world, both dark and bright,

We'll fight for you with all our might.

A poet's vow, a heartfelt plea,

For justice, love, and empathy.
