    Circus animals
    I do not like the Circus animals...
    Dog does not look like the dog,
    Horse as horse and lion as lion...
    For a tiny piece of sugar
    They humiliate their dignity…
    They do not mind to creep
    Even on their knees...
    Why? For what?!
    Just for a tiny sugar piece.
    1984

    An ironical pece ,succinctly written. Its brevity effectively enforces its satirical opinion of a pandering humanity that is prone to settle for less. My rating for diction , tone, flow and piquancy is a full ten

    And yet, how cheaply the human animal sells its soul!

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
