Possums climbing tree to tree

Not feeling very free.

Smoke and gas as it engulfs the sky

Possums letting out a quivering cry.

Looking for a safe place to hide

That isn’t too wide to stay beside,

Sweat ran down with fear

Not able to see clearly what’s very near.

COUGH! COUGH! closing its eyes

With the rest of its immortal guys.

What we humans do to all stars of life

Is becoming a malicious, killing knife.

So, will you help to save the animals

And get them back to being magical?!
