Prairie
dog and buffalo roamed northern plain
Tiny and large enjoy days in copious innocence
Until poison and bullets whizzing like metal flies
Forced to lose heaven‚s sanctified knoll
Faint smiling visages on sun-kissed mounds
Inhaling what is left of their home, they wait
For government uniforms to sneak up
Those we vote for murder indiscriminately
Insurrection comes as we lie down peacefully
Near satiated buffalo‚s on vast lonesome space
Horns curved and ready, fat prairie dog paws
gently nibble on the grain of sunkissed lands
Staring back at barrels, they are powerless
They are more victims of human ignorance
Ready to withstand their ground from onslaught
Waiting to disappear like those before them.
