Shame on 'Us'...

Why are humans the only sadistic beings? What makes them so?

Last evening, I saw something that shocked the living day-lights out of me... A live pigeon was tied to a branch of a tree in my colony, by its foot...

The bird struggled from time to time, and sometimes it just sat clueless more-so, helpless...

This was certainly a deliberate act done for an absolutely atrocious purpose...

I know that animals do not possess the power of reason... But in that very moment, I thought of what the bird might be feeling...

And I couldn't possibly imagine... 

I freed her with the kind help of the laundry-man... 

But i couldn't avoid reflecting on why someone would do something so heartless to a divine, beautiful and defenseless creature...

No such motive would ever suffice...

Memoirs of Little Hazel

I saw her for the first time, on a dull afternoon...
Cuddled up in my garage...

She glanced at me with her tender eyes...
Longing for nothing but company...

I fed and cleansed her every once in a while...
For which she loved me endlessly...

She was familiar with the thump of my bike...
And pranced along every time i came home...

I never thought of naming her... .
I just knew her as my little hazel-eyed girl...

She was petite and beautiful...
Calm yet alert when necessary...

I wasn't there by her side when she suffered...
Which disturbed me beyond limits...

All that made me feel better was that...
She didn't writhe in pain anymore...

I won't see her now... my little girl...
And I just wish i could say goodbye...

But at the end of it all...
Maybe loving is about letting go...

That's my girl in the center, with her pup to the left!
