There was a time when life was abundant,
Where birds danced and trees were reluctant.
But soon in time, life died away.
It was all left in the dust and blown astray.
If only they learnt their lesson, as it was meant to clean up.
As destruction continued, without a rest,
More and more animals were viewd as pests.
Oh, why does this situation have to come this way?
Why do they think they have the right to do as they may?
As if they would think less of themselves, they will never fess up.
At the end of the tunnel, they'll bellow and scream.
Fighting against their own troubled scheme.
Seeking a way to find a start of relief
But the only start they will find is never ending grief.
They never learnt to Never take down a fence until you know why it was put up.
