Description
why do you glance me with pity in your eyesand give me a fistful of copper coins
because even though I'm a wounded one
I am also strong and have a will to live
which means that you don't have to
show me pity you think you have to
I think this is the same fellow as in Railwaystations
but now he has only one toe in his left foot left, the back one
(if you look closely you can see the stub..)
I don't know what has happened to him
but he seemed to be alright with walking and sitting as well

I like that the background matchs the doves feathers so well.

Thank you! I think it gives this sort of b/w feel to this without actually being b/w, maybe monotone is a better word. :3

The two pics look very similar indeed - yea, could be the same bird. I don't know about doves, but some of the parrots in the birds' zoo are missing toes because they were fighting with each other - maybe pigeons do that, too?
Thought is was a BW pic at first - great tone in tone! And I like the thoughts and poems you put with your photos, too. Here the title made me feel the pity that the poem speaks against.

Thank you! It truly could be a fight wound too, don't know really. I'm just happy they can still grow the tissues again and walk normal.
I was actually a bit confused with the poem myself and I'm not sure if I managed to express what I wanted. I just started to think about how one usually automatically feels pity to a person/animal who has a wound, but in a way that's really odd if it's only automatic and in the end pity is a quite negative feeling, shouldn't we show compassion instead? (oh dear, long sentence) Or maybe just treat them as if they were "normal" unless another code is required. Whoops, babbling. :B Hope you don't mind.

Yea, pity has something condescending... I think I know where you're going with that poem.
