Poem On Animals

About To Become Extinct

There once used to be

Color and life on this land

Where concrete now lies

But once it was more than just sand

Humans have so much greed,

That the diversity that was once seen,

Can never come back again

Because nothing will be left in the end.

It is terrifying how some think

The value of an animal is in its skin,

Or in the meat in its bones,

Or in the quality of its horns.

They do not longer have a home

As their habitats are destroyed

The only place they know

Is a cage without freedom nor hope.

But the saddest thing is,

The entitlement some people feel,

Or the power they have

Over an animal's life.
