What Did I Do?

What did I do?

For you harshly look for me

I sustain life for many animals.

But the man says I want the biggest tusk

 From the biggest elephant.

How rude you are

To destroy my home!

 

What did I do?

For you to kill my relatives.

We save your land

From termites and ant destruction

A poacher always says I want the best pangolin

For the best scales.

 

What did I do?

 I look similar to you

You should be my brother

But you still want to traffic me

As a pet in cages

They want the youngest chimp

What did I do?

 

Many animals are still in danger

The hippos for their teeth

The parrots for their beautiful feathers

Crocodiles for their meat

Lions and tigers for their hides

 

We are all endangered by you

In years to come we will disappear

Please stop killing us
