Red panda, dead panda

I was young, ignorant, unsuspecting, oblivious
I still remember that day, the hopelessness
I was joyful, playing, everything was fine
Then came Man that ended the good times
I’m a Red Panda luckily not a dead panda
I felt an eerie earthquake under my four feet
Little did I know it was the rumble of Man’s fleet
I was frozen by fear
The monsters getting closer so close so near
I’m a Red Panda luckily not a dead panda
Man maliciously cut down a tree
I prayed to disappear so they couldn’t see me
In Man's eyes a corrupt gleam
I wanted to be hidden from Man’s scheme
I’m a Red Panda luckily not a dead panda
Man closed in
Chance of escape seemed slim
I scrambled and managed to get away
But man was here to stay; I was free
But not all of them were as lucky as me
