Tasmania Devil

The dead leaf's crunch, stick cracks as it’s the only one alive tonight.
A devil in its name but a cute little one in its appearance.
It walks along the creek, along the Great Barrier Reef hoping for a better life.
The peaceful birds soaring in the sky, wishing it could fly tonight.
Thinking for more care for its future living life.
It’s glorious and marvellous species remains, but not for long.
the bright marine blue sky shined up high in the sky making light for the devil's path.
The innocent devil's prayers to stay alive but have no chance of staying longer.
The trees falling down climate makes them suffer now.
Its fresh air smells nice but doesn’t change its way of life.
The black and white devil stays and prays.
Will it stay or go down in historic pages?
The rebel devil, evil eagle soaring in the sky, the rebel devil might die tonight.
Will today be the same?
Maybe not but let's just pray.
