Animals Are Distinct Poem by Mark Nyamekye Boadi

Cats purr, Dogs bark
Sheep and Goat make the bleating cry
And lions roar
God knows the reason why

The snakes glide
In the air, birds fly
Zebras and horses gallop
God knows the reason why

Some animals move in daytime
At night, spawns the frog and bat
When one sleeps, the other is awake
God has a reason for that

Indeed God knows why
We may never understand
Why he put animals at different places
Some in the sea, others on land

Bats and sloths sleep whiles hanging
The dog may find this strange
To them the best way is to lie prostrate
But they cannot force the bats and sloths to change

Some animals may think the best habitat is terrestrial
Whales and seals prefer the aquatic
Other mammals may find this strange
And may think of the whales and seals as psychotic

Birds might have a problem with penguins
Who possess beaks and limbs covered with scales
And claim to belong to the class aves
But they neither fly or possess feathery tails

Birds might also wonder at the bat
Who chooses to fly in the air
But yet still behaves like a mammal
Having pinnae and covering its body with hair

And that is the way it is
God created everything unique

That is the way it is
God has a reason for such a technique

That is the way it is
We may view things in our own different ways
And see the approach of others as a violent craze

That is the way it is
Some people may always try to please
Whiles others may not stand at ease

That is the way it is
Animals are linked
But are very distinct
