To Build

from a final project in a workshop class (animals)

By Isabella WalkerPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

these innocent souls

(Less than 3,000 remained by the 70’s)

continue losing their homes

as we keep building

more

and more

and more

look into their sad eyes,

(Only 1,000 remained in the 90’s)

leaking the oil and fumes

from us invading their homes,

their lungs,

their veins

their comfort of shelter and safety

(The panda's range had declined by about 99% by 2001)

once all theirs

slowly closing in around them

inch

by inch

by inch
