Cryptids Leave Them Be
Mothman, Nessie, Ogopogo and Sasquatch,
too many people say they’ve seen them.
Do they exist?
That’s the big question.
Skin walkers, have their fame near a ranch,
but do you really want to see one?
Spring heeled Jack will terrorize
many anxious folks in the woods;
are cryptids man made or
perhaps just Nature’s beasts?
Maybe they originated from genetic experimentation
Or are the results of cloning;
whatever beings they may be,
man should leave them alone.
The world of science wants to kill and dissect them;
It’s not a good idea;
every life on Earth is precious and unique;
all have a birthright to live and be free.
They harm no one, unless in self-defense.
Studying them in labs would be a sad disservice when studying them in the wild would provide so much more knowledge.
Some claim they’re inter-dimensional or an alien race,
but still others believe they’re angels or demons.
It’s really not our business;
we should respect life enough to leave them be.
Opening up Pandora’s Box is never a good idea.
When man split the atom, they doomed all life;
research Frankenstein’s, always do more harm than good.
“Live and let live”, is a motto I used to hear
all of the time;
it has disappeared over the last couple of decades but,
it’s an ultimate truth.
Life has many wondrous mysteries;
they make it more interesting and
once we know everything;
well, life could get boring
to the level of stagnation.
Whatever, whomever they really are;
leave them be and they will leave us be.
