Animal Eyes

It does not matter what I am
For I am animal not a man
Many years you hunted me
My brothers and sisters are now so few
And I feel I maybe dying too
Disease and homelands taken many away
Nowhere left for me to hunt and play

Put me in a confinement Zoo
A life of cages is untrue
Your young laugh, throw us peanuts and popcorn
the lions mane infected and shorn
Diseases I have never seen before
And wounded hearts of freedom lost, so sore
But still you restrict us even more(extinction)

Each day another brother, sister dies
Unique of species do you realize
But greed and money will always win
Put us in laboratories to experiment with
Success is often noncomming in your science
So quietly we lay down and die
I am left to wonder "why!"

Stuff our last and put us in museums
Many of you come to see our long dead form
I ask "is this really the norm?"
We only want a quiet place to be
A place of wilderness to set us free
But you build so many cities of concrete and glass
And space to breathe is in the past

I wonder how much longer I can really last
