we belittle earth’s creatures because we believe they
can’t comprehend
but in reality we are the strangers who never made an effort to become their friend
we have help we refuse to lend and millions of dollars we refuse to spend
we must stop belittling earth’s creatures before our own ignorance brings it all to an end
we need to open our minds and learn to understand
we can’t continue to ignore the growing problem at hand
we can’t keep cutting down trees and taking their land
it will never belong to us no matter how much we build and expand
they don’t speak our languages but we do not speak theirs
our hearts may be different from theirs but have more in common with one another than with the cold hearts of billionaires
we are stripping the world of nature’s magic and not a single person even cares
