Fawn

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She brought her spotted Fawn 

to the edge of the lawn

and carefully instructed him to enter.

Maybe the Humans 

with their professed tender hearts

would allow the little One there.

Those long skinny legs 

brought the Fawn 

to the edge of the Herb Garden.

It's daylight.

That's way closer 

than we have noted before.

The Animals are hungry.

They too suffer from drought, 

in ways we cannot even know.

They are accidental victims 

of the Human's speeding train 

of Climate Change.

Where are the brakes 

on this mad thing?
