In the wild, where spirits roam,

Amidst the fields and forests' loam,

A creature sings a desperate plea,

A heartfelt song for you and me.

Oh, human, hear my haunting strain,

A melody born of anguish and pain,

I sing to you from depths unknown,

To save our lives, our spirits flown.

In ancient times, we roamed the land,

A harmonious dance, nature's grand,

But as the ages onward roll,

Your presence takes its heavy toll.

The hunter's aim, so swift and true,

Has turned our world from vibrant to blue,

The echoes of the shots ring loud,

A piercing cry, a shroud of cloud.

I sing to you, oh gentle soul,

To remind you of our sacred role,

In this tapestry of life's design,

Where every creature intertwines.

From the mighty lion, fierce and strong,

To the delicate birds with joyful song,

Each one a thread within the weave,

A masterpiece we must not bereave.

Oh, human, let compassion guide,

Release the hunter's callous stride,

For in your hands, the power lies,

To halt the hunt, to empathize.

See the innocence within our eyes,

Feel the rhythm of our silent cries,

We long to live, to roam the earth,

To cherish moments of boundless worth.

In every footfall, grace abounds,

In every heartbeat, a harmony resounds,

Our presence weaves a vibrant tapestry,

Oh, human, let it be our legacy.

In wilderness, we find our home,

Through ancient forests, we freely roam,

Yet your desires, with greed unbound,

Have turned our paradise to battleground.

I sing to you, dear human friend,

To make you understand and comprehend,

The price we pay for your desires,

As life's symphony slowly expires.

The splendor of the elephant's might,

The grace of cheetahs in their flight,

The wisdom shared by ancient whales,

Their fate, too often sealed by sails.

From majestic tigers to humble deer,

Our destinies entwined, forever near,

We yearn for freedom, untouched and pure,

For our existence to endure.

Oh, human, in your hands we plea,

To set aside your avarice, let it be,

A world where harmony takes hold,

Where all creation's stories are told.

Let not the hunter's arrow find its mark,

Let not our voices fade into the dark,

For in your choices, lies the key,

To a future where all life can be free.

Together, we can mend the rift,

Reverse the course, uplift and shift,

Let empathy be your guiding light,

And save our world from endless night.

So, human, hear this urgent song,

A plea for those who can't speak along,

We share this planet, heart and soul,

With the power to make it whole.

Let compassion guide your every choice,

Respect our lives, give us a voice,

For in the balance of nature's grace,

Lies the beauty of this sacred space.

Let us unite, both near and far,

To heal the wounds, to raise the bar,

For in our unity, we hold the key,

To ensure a future where all creatures are free.

Oh, human, hear this final plea,

Embrace the call of unity,

For when we protect what nature gives,

Every creature among us truly lives.
