Quest For Peace

I live within this territory that used to graciously bid well to the inhabitants that compliment the best in nature, This global environment is not unified between man and beast nor are they destined to be so. Once our land was of fruit and honey Now taken away for prosperity and money We had the space, boundless miles to roam Our kin settled first, under this wide dome Now this land is barely ours My forest is thin, I see no flowers The streams are shallow, the meadows are bare I’m looking for peace, I do not know where. I hear unfamiliar sounds that are not free Danger rings, a need to flee In the past I never doubted my fate Life now is not great. My freedom is torn, my visions bring fear I see this domicile’s end is coming near Grasslands were taken to benefit mankind Not much here that was left behind. I used to frolic and have lots of fun Now I’m scared and on the run Life was a joy being out in the clear My home is gone; I’m only a young deer
