How'd It Go So Wrong?

You take away all my food,
and expect me not to kill you.
I might as well be on the moon,
what did I ever do to you.
Once I had the equivalent of MTV,

now I am lost with no true home.

So I roam knowing I will die,

I am in an eye shot of your guns.

Unlike humankind I am not greedy,

I do not live to prosper.

I just want to keep my family alive,

And let them also feel the sun.

Bravo!! You said a mouth full here. I fricking hate what we as humans do to other living things! These creatures never did anything to us....we invaded and moved them and killed them..how dare us!! Awesome write. Awesome message!! Good luck in the contest.

This is such a great write with such words of wisdom here. We are destroying our planet everyday and I hate to see animals get hurt. Sometimes I wonder who human being think they are to destroy everything. Here in New Zealand we are having trouble with whalers trying to get into our waters because of the rich whale life. But give them a few years and they would have wiped them all out, animals feed to satisfy their hunger, not to cloth themselves and beautify themselves with the products. Well, now that I had that little rant, thank you so much for sharing this with us. You have really written this well and brings out a lot of emotion.

At first, i was confused until your picture downloaded and i read the part "unlike human kind". then i got the message in it and what you was writing about. i like the message for it is a very important one that an awful lot of people over look. animals are losing their territory and we are the ones taking it. we are polluting there rivers and taking their homes, but if one simply nocks over a trash can we explode. great poem. i am glad to see that some one other then me cares about the animals and actully sees what we are doing to them. good job!!!
