  • We Are Their Voice

    Moments pass like rain
    Wanting to save royalty
    The king's crown is his mane
    Heard for miles without a voice
    He calls to his brother
    He waits for an answer that never comes
    his other half was executed
    Living life was no longer a choice...

    The surviving brother tracks his life bond
    He knows there is something wrong
    He gets so anxious he growls and drools enough for a pond
    He remembers the sound of tragedy
    Silence after war zones and angry gangs of prey
    No more "r'oh" calls or nuzzles from lifeless bodies of the fallen
    Not even in his prime and he's only half as strong as he was before today...

    He slows down and looks around
    The smell of two legged intruders and familiar blood is present
    He's saddened but not surprised with what he found
    He lay next to his brothers blood
    He smelled it, licked it, and nuzzled the last remains of his beloved comrade
    His heart was broken
    Grief like a flood...

    When will people learn that we need our kings and our queens of the bush and forest?
    We need them to love them
    We are the ones that give them a choice
    We are their guardians with a voice...
