Possums Living in Hell

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?!
