I wish If i could turn & live with animals...

---

I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.

They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;

Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth



― Walt Whitman
