Wild At Heart

Wild at heart
By Michelle Morris

I am wild at heart
I am wild and free
I want to be like the creatures
Out in the world I see

They are so precious
They are a visual delight
They're cute and cuddly
They live and they fight

Their survival is waning
As humanhood expands
We take over their habitat
Ignore environmental concerns

They deserve a life
That is precious and free
Where they can be wild
Without fearing extinction

I am wild at heart
I am wild and free
I want to live in a world
Where wild creatures all can be

Thank you @wwf for sharing this photo* by Thomas A. Jefferson. The vaquita is critically endangered. There are only 10 remaining.

"Vaquita, the world's rarest marine mammal, is on the edge of extinction. The plight of cetaceans—whales, dolphins, and porpoises—as a whole is exemplified by the rapid decline of the vaquita in Mexico, with about 10 individuals remaining."
