We Are Not The Devils

My home has been destroyed

Where all my things belong

The humans call us devils

But they did all the wrong

A handful of them help us

To get these tumours off our face

Some others act naive

And turn their gaze away

A cancer around me spreads

Through my family to my friends

The sticks and leaves pierce at my paws

As I wander through this lonesome path

The ash and debris fall before me

Laying in pieces at my feet

Dear friends, where have you gone

It feels as though the world has abandoned me

Left helpless and I’m lost

I’m stumbling in a daze

Nowhere I can go to

I’m staring death straight in the face
