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.

Jay Loveless September 18, 2009 at 11:43 AM Grr Out Of Time. Your Inspiring Wolf, And Bassically, People Are Afraid. More Afraid Then They Realize. And Plagued With Greedyness.

Jay Loveless September 18, 2009 at 11:41 AM Afraid The People Silently Stood, Seeing The Creatures At Their Feet. One Held A Baby On Her Lap The Other Held A Spear, It Was A He. The Ledge Of Rock Would Not Hold Long, And So They Were Forced To Fight. They Populated And Needing A Village, Stole More Space. The Wolf He Threw The Stars In The Sky, And Howled Up At The Moon. The People Heard His Ballad, And Began To Sing Too. They Thought They Were More Worthy, Of The Gods High Up Above. And Cast The Animals From The Places That They Loved
