Opposite Creatures Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Opposite creatures

Both names in English
Have the "C" and the "O".

One of them very big
Humongous
Other one too small
A Petite.

One is raised by mankind
Other killed, but survives.

One has a pair of eyes
Other? None?

I too do admire the cow's eyes
-wide and large
-bulging out
-reflecting Earth, Sky
-copy of crystal magic-ball,
But this is just one side
-sure is not end of line
-to me cows are great
-not because they are large
-not only for their eyes
-but because they unite
-cause fear with their shout:
-"Enough of killing us…! "
-they do so very loud
-and in way that ears
-even deaf can hear.

I too, hate cockroaches
-not for size
-not because they disturb
-not the same as others
-simply because they
-like our meek
-are killed and keep silent
-in this way
-each betrays own teammates!
