Live And Let Live Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

A long abandoned grave yard lies
outside the city boundary.
It has become a paradise,
A well established sanctuary.

Unwanted pets turned out to roam
by cruel owners who don’t care.
Are welcome here to make a home
amongst their wilder brethren there.

beside the graves in disrepair
or in the brambles overgrown.
They are quite sure to find a lair,
some place that they can call their own.

Although the predators still prey
They’re only acting naturally
by following Dame Natures way.
They co exist quite happily.

Eat or be eaten is the law.
You will not get a second chance
for nature’s red in tooth and claw.
The price of life is vigilance.

At least they live free from fear
of mans unthinking cruelty
Few humans ever venture near
this abandoned cemetery.
