This thought of incarnation made me pause,
To Analyse the world in which we live,
Now would I choose a creature, hoof or claws?
Deep study to this question I must give.
For mortal man is avid in his ways,
And covets everything within his sight;
The thought of being hunted all my days,
Would make the bravest heart soon take to flight.
So I will be a creature of the deep
Where no submersible can ever reach,
And in this peaceful world my vigil keep,
Till mortal man no longer is a leech.
When man destroys each thing that nature planned,
Can life begin again is my demand?
