Behavioral Swap Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos

Behavioral Swap



"I have not seen
The likes of it! "
Reads a caption
On a Facebook
Uploaded utube
That fails not
To immediately
Grab attention.

A bird is seen drawing
Close to a pool
With a speed
Starved fishes to feed
Fishes, eagerly awaiting it
To regurgitate
And drop a seed.

I reflected
Making a paradigm shift
If a bird
In a way that seems absurd
Shows such magnanimity
How then we fail
To maintain unity?

Men are becoming on
Neighborsbrutal
Inflicting an attack fatal,
While animals
Are becoming humanistic

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In a way that is fantastic.
In my country famed for unity in diversity phony politicians are breaking social fabric using divide and rule under the guise of ethnic federalism.
