My children are gone,

Shot to the bone,

dead.

 

The hunters find me.

I run.

I run from the hunters.

I run for my life.

 

I run to be safe,

I run to see another day,

The hunters catch up…

 

Doesn’t shoot!

They put me to sleep.

I wake in a cage.

 

I see my brown fur,

I whine,

they ignore.

 

They leave me.

I will rot,

Die.
