Don’t Hurt Them

They walk with wisdom 

    we don't grasp

Majesty generation to 

    generation passed

Hunted and exploited 

    by our evil kin

Not holding them sacred 

    is a universal sin

One look deep into 

    intelligent eyes

Should invoke us to mourn 

    when one of them dies

Mercy is sadly not 

    ingrained in us all

And that lack of mercy is 

    what will cause our fall

May the touch of angels 

    ease the pain

Of those tortured for selfish, 

    greedy gain

May their soft wings 

    cushion every blow

The captors land if they 

    move too slow

May those who hurt them 

    live to regret

The deeds they've done 

    and never forget

May they one day feel 

    three fold the agony

That they carelessly inflicted, 

   and may it last eternity.
