While You Were Sleeping

While you were sleeping, A sparrow tried to fly and fell down on the floor, A dog grabbed it's neck, and killed it. The child in me started weeping. While you were sleeping, A cow foraged around for something to eat, The milk man wouldn't feed her, She is of no use to him. While you were sleeping, A car drove fast on the smooth highway through the forest, A leopard was crossing the road and did not expect it, The concrete road saw it's sad eyes, dimming, dying, blood seeping. While we were sleeping A bulldozer razed a 700-year old tree, Nobody heard it cry out, nobody heard it's sigh. The Sky watched with regret, the Earth waited. The Earth is still waiting. For you to wake up.
