Animals came from around the world
Rescued from many zoos:
insane...
Cramped quarters: bad
treatment
Trapped within: who can
you blame?
Lions, tigers, cheetahs
and all
Responded to their new
freedom and love
But the black leopard:
resisted: retreated
He would not be the
same...
He growled at all comers:
hackles raised!
He bristled and
persisted...
Those golden eyes: untamed
"Come not near me...
I do not feel at home...
I want no caresses, no
love...
Just leave me alone...
I will not play your
game..."
No-one could approach him
No-one could get inside
For his ire was relentless
He would never succumb
He bit the hand that fed
him
He refused to be handled
His scowls and growls...
Said time and time again
"Just leave me
alone!"
She came from far away
Was called to offer aid,
insight
She sat beside his cage
Looked within his pained
heart
Saw the incredible pain
No-one would believe her
It was simply too much to
comprehend
That she could understand
his plight
Could offer up a solution
To everybody's delight
He did not like the name they'd given
It was dark and evil;
unlike him
"I am not Diabolo...I
am not like that
I need to know that I can
be
Simply left alone: nothing
expected of me
I worry about the two
leopard Cubs
That used be next to
me..."
Jurg and his wife were amazed
How could she know these
things?
This animal empath could
understand
Everything that this
leopard claimed
They changed his name to Spirit
He was happier than ever
before
He actually left his
enclosure
Walked around the larger
yard
When the two leopard cubs
came
They were reunited and
peace reigned
