Hunted
Their wings get clipped
their tails get tied
with nets restrained
ensnared
horns cut off,
left for dead…
The hunters became the hunted
for their horns,
for their skin
all in the name of greed,
earth’s balance thrown off keel…
Humans invaded their territory
their free reign taken away,
chased out of their habitat
in the cycle of life,
their survival became unsure
their possible extinction a harsh reality…
