My favorite animal is a peacock. They’re just so beautiful a nice shade of blue and male peacocks use their feathers to attract females to mate with them. And peacocks also use the feathers to make them look bigger to other animals and predators. There are two well known peacock species the blue peacock and the green peacock. The blue peacock can be found in India and Sri Lanka while the green peacock resides in Burma.
Fifteen beds. Fifteen charts with names, Fifteen people without a family tree. Fifteen bodies for whom torture is medicine and pills. Beds over which the crimson blood of ages spills. Fifteen bodies that want to live here. Thirty eyes seeking quietness. Bald heads that gape from out of the prison. The holiness of the suffering, which is none of my business. The loveliness of the air, which day after day Smells of strangeness and carbolic. The nurses that carry thermometers Mothers who grope after a smile. Food is such a luxury here. A long, long night, and a brief day. But anyway, I don't want to leave The lighted rooms and the burning checks, Nurses who leave behind them only a shadow To help the little sufferers. I'd like to stay here, a small patient, Waiting the doctor's daily round, Until, after a long, long time, I'd be well again. Then I'd like to live And go back home again.
Thank you for sharing your post this week! I like peacocks as well. I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into your research. I would love to see you including links for where you found your research.
