Animals,

True blessings in a harrowing world

They comfort, inspire, and help humans

When times are dire

Many are innocent,

Some even defenseless

Really, they just want to live their lives,

Growing and building families,

Exactly like humans do

Yet, those same humans

Pillage their homes,

Setting forests ablaze,

Showing the utmost cruelty

All of it an undeserved nightmare

As people, we must join together,

And protect these treasures of the earth

When I trusted god

he failed to show

when I trusted the universe

it didn't seem to know

so I trusted the wind

but it blew away

and so I trusted the earth

but she twirled astray

and so I trusted people

but they were liars and thieves

then the only thing left

the one that believes

I trusted myself

the one who never leaves.
