Why Do You Hate Me So?

Frank WOLF
Why do you hate me so?

I roamed on lands that were wide open and free

They were mine to settle and hunt and breed

Until you cut my trees and moved in your,

Farms, your homes and towns

Now you scream and shout and yell

If you catch a glimpse of me on your fields or hills

Why do you hate me so?

I mate for life

Most of you do not

You kill my spouse

You hate my life

You hunt for my home

You kill my children

Why do you hate me so?

You hunt me by the air

You hunt me on the land

You have hunted my friends and relatives

I have been on many endangered species lists

Yet you still find ways to hunt me more

Why do you hate me so?

Soon you will have your way

And I will be but a memory

Just a picture on walls, museums and books

I will prance in zoos for you to watch

And that will be all that is left of my legacy

Extinction is Forever!

Why do you hate me so?
