Forever Lies the Snake.(All Comments Appreciated)
Forever lies the snake,
The animal with no legs.
Forever runs the hare,
Contenuosly hopping away.
Forever flys the bat
Innocent, yet feared.
Forever swims the swan
Innocent, but adored.
Forever leaps the mountain goat,
Cunning to live at mountain summits.
Foever lives the tortise,
An old, beloved race.
Forever to have something in common.
Are curious to what it is?
Take a guess, you see it every day.
I believe that its the fear of us,
For we put fear into them.
We forced them out of their homes.
We killed them off one by one.
But why I ask do we do this?
Shouldn't we treat them the same?
We should all know what its like to lose a home.
In times of war we are forced to flee for isnt that the same?
Please answer me to the best that you possibly can.
Why should not care to them when they are our species' brethren.
