Response to “Do Seek Their Meat From God”

In the short story”Do Seek Their Meat From God” written by Roberts, the author made a contrast to the previous stories of animals. This story is too cruel for little kids but that is the truth we have to know. The conflict between people and animals shows how real is the world. The reality tears our hearts and there is no way to stop since we can’t live in fairy tales. Neither the panther nor the hunter, they are just trying to survive for themselves or for their families. It’s hard to balance our sympathies between human beings and animals so that the author comes up with a acceptable ending.

What Is Love

What I want to say to you, she said before me.

I can only hope that you are happy.

What I want to give to you, she gave before me.

I can only echo your happiness.

Love is to bless you with my whole heart.

                                                    

Watching you fondle her hands with your high-pitched love,

I can only smile by hiding my love.

Seeing you kissing her with your look of contentment,

I can only try to hide my sorrow and look glad.

Love is to be your most ordinary friend.

Watching her walking towards you, my tears shed for your joy.

She is the only one for you.

Knowing that meeting the right one is not easy, my tears shed for your luck.

I realized that I cannot hold you.

Love is to let you go with my shattered soul.

Love is to wait quietly for your turning around.

Love is to succumb to my failure.

Love is to watch you flee to your love.

Love is to smile at you with my protective mask.

Love is to be grateful by only being your friend.
