Frogs in the well






Frogs in the well should
Expand their vision to float
Freely in the sea

Should dream big and shed
Inhibitions, to savor
The joy of freedom

    Very well written. Reminded me of the story of frogs in a well I had read sometime in childhood.

    all frogs and toads should be free, biology should not be taught by slaughtering them needlessly
