Responce to “We Cannot But Chuse To Hear”

“We Cannot But Chuse To Hear” is a poem that I feel all should read for it seems to bring to light the effect this oil spill is having on the animals. My take on this poem is that the effect and problems of the oil spill are being told through an animal’s suffering. Too often, when disastrous events occur the animals are often the ones last thought of? Unless their voice is brought to life by another, people forget about the effect such events will have on the life and survival of the animal habitants of the affected area. I liked this poems descriptive words for it allowed the poems point to come across as well as allow me to draw a mental picture of this tragedies effect on the animal life.
