Little Treasures

Animals,

True blessings in a harrowing world

They comfort, inspire, and help humans

When times are dire

Many are innocent,

Some even defenseless

Really, they just want to live their lives,

Growing and building families,

Exactly like humans do

Yet, those same humans

Pillage their homes,

Setting forests ablaze,

Showing the utmost cruelty

All of it an undeserved nightmare

As people, we must join together,

And protect these treasures of the earth
