The Snail

the small
the annoying
the little pest
is it though?
have you ever thought about it
you throw a snail
maybe even kill
but do you know why it does it
or do you know but not care
for the garden is all that matters
the life of an animal
it's very exist 
shattered for your greed
but why are the plants there
they give food
for us.
for animals
the circle of life
it may be small
you may find it annoying
but it is a life
and every life is important

That snail could be a parent, sibling or relative. Agreed lets not just kill it because we can. Everything is there for a reason. Nice piece
