Oh you beasts, look at you now

Running into the shadows

Survivors not fit to live

On land more yours than mine

We do not want you here now

We will say this land is ours

Our parks, our trails, and our yards

Don’t touch them, die if you must

If only you were a duck

Helpless in your disrespect

You would let us steal your eggs

And forget a missing friend

Yet you are not helpless here

Not in the eyes of us men

We fear what can possibly

Harm us as we have harmed them

This is an apology

You can barely be a threat

We’ve taken all you have

What more do we now expect

The one who fell in my pool

The one too scared to see me

And the two I met last night

I truly am sorry here
