The Lone Glider

Leaping through the forest 

Gliding tree to tree 

There goes a lone sugar glider 

Showing off to you and me 

Now it is the dead of night

Only the trees can see,

The sugar glider springing 

On his face a glimpse of glee 

Gliding gracefully like a falling feather

The sugar glider forages for food

He’s powerful no matter the weather 

Then BOOM, CRASH, he meets his doom

Mechanical monsters roam the land 

Obstructive destroying all in sight 

Homes, families they’ll all be ruins 

They are a rival you cannot fight 

He sprints, he escapes to safety 

Away from his beloved home 

Will the morning ever come?

He really does not know
