Sitting at a bus stop,
Old man next to me appeared.
Said I am the one you loved,
And the one you feared.
You love the land
And all of nature too.
And beautiful skies
Of green, red, purple and blue.
You love the animals,
Beast and man the same.
And wished they treated each other
Equally on this plain.
Want to test your metal,
Being a BeastMaster.
Don’t want to see it
Turn into a disaster.
Like wolves you’re in a pack,
Like ants you follow orders.
And you know not all
Sharks are in the waters.
Don’t chum the water,
Don’t bait the woods.
Stay true to your heart
And thankful of your goods.
Your heart knows the truth,
Your brain questions the logic.
You have a caring soul,
Your not animatronic.
She loves you alot,
And you love her.
Without her there
Could be no other.
I look at the man,
He looks just like me.
It’s a mirror I’ve been looking at
A huge calamity.
The old man in me
Was just in communication;
To reveal to me
My greatest revelation.
