the woodlands around us are being cut down. this is how i felt. |
On my daily peaceful walks to that one haven by my house where the trees still stand tall and wild animals have a small piece of land to call home, where a creek has long since dried up, and one lonely house stands calling for others to pioneer it is in this place i noticed a tree bent and shredded into two not by a strong gale during a storm not from rotting but bent by the will of man who declared it was its turn to die then i looked around me and noticed the tire treads of human's metal beasts clambering through the land scape claiming its space i began to think about all the trees that would be fallen in the next few years how all this space would look no different from my neighborhood then i felt my heart start to shudder back and forth it rocked with sadness and tears then i thought if mankind really knew the word "preserve" and how good we were at destroying i thought about all the animals that were out here sharing this small parcel of land as humans never could ,at least the humans of today, how all the animals shared this small sacred space one of the last places they could be safe an area where generations may have grown living without humans once this was swept from the earth they would be forced to adapt to the new human habitat and if they could not adapt then, too bad, they perish. this all made my heart jerk with both sadness and anger what right do we humans have to destroy all this? surely we should give some animals a small sanctuary just becuase we can stand on two legs, you must call us master and for those others who may use two legs we are leagues ahead of you mentally bow and call us king you shall sacrifice your very life for me I can drive a car, but i do not know how to make one i can work a smoothie machine, yet i can not make one so what can i do? put me in the woods and surely i would be the one to perish in your enviroment so we must make new areas for me to live to make this area "habitable" for the kings of all animals so shall you lay down your lives without us even acknowledging your sacrifice perhaps mankind does preserve to a point but here we regret to inform you your numbers are not too low, you are not that rare so these laws of protection shall not cover your measley life nor will they protect you until we realize how many of you have truly gone into the next world then we shall frantically pass laws in attempt for reperation but until that day your kind will have no choice and we shall chase you into the world beyond |
