Endangered

Opening my eyes for the very first time
by my mothers side without a single crime 
The sun is shining
I am playing 
We are sliding 
My mum is smiling
I'm anticipating to explore the lands 
Without having to hold her hands 
Soon I’ll no longer be a pup
Soon I’ll be all grown up 

Suddenly I can hear sounds of laughter
The noises started to scatter 
Bang bang bang 
They’re attacking her 
My own mother 
She protected me 
Pushing me to the sea 
To set me free 
Telling me to spree 
With no time to disagree 
The monsters didn’t want my mum 
They wanted me, to slit my throat
But this time they’ll return to their boats 
Without my warm white coat 
 
Five, ten, fifteen minutes go by 
I’m getting low on air supply 
I’m afraid to see what above 
I wish everything could just be undone 
Gasping for one more breath 
Circled by all their deaths 
Feeling as though I’m about to drown 
Whiles fleeing this crazy battle ground 

My arms are getting heavy
I don’t think I’m quite ready 
My legs are starting to burn 
I don’t know where to turn 
Swimming as fast as I can without thinking 
I find myself trapped in this thick green netting
I don’t want to moan
As I am not alone 
I wish this wasn’t real 
I think they want me for their meal 

Unlike the others I mange to set my self free 
With this thick green netting all around me  
It’s weighing me down
I don’t want to drown 
Five days go by everyday is a struggle 
Swimming around stuck in this rubble
You are destroying my home 
With no safe place to rome
Up to 200 species extinct everyday 
There’s no time to delay 
5 of my kind are endangered 
It’s time to make changes!
