To witness the effect people have on nature
makes me regret being part of a race
that could destroy something so innocent and pure
just for the thrill of the chase.
To know that animals needlessly die
just to fulfill a selfish desire.
If only we would try
I'm sure we could put out this fire.
The needs of the many should outweigh the needs of the few
but in our world it seems it's everyone for themselves.
I can honestly say that it's true
we live nothing like the elves.
To mingle with and revere all life
is a better path for our survival.
Instead we kill with gun, bow, or knife
upsetting the balance that existed before our arrival.
