PLEASE LISTEN TO OUR PITEOUS PRAYERS

Oh! Don’t pursue us ruthlessly any more

Oh! Don’t poach us relentlessly any more

Oh! Don’t prey us mercilessly any more

Oh! Don’t scare us to fly and scamper.

Oh! We are forced almost to be dwindled

Oh! We are pounced upon, killed and swindled

Oh! We are flying like birds for our survival

Oh! We are forced to flee our premature burial!

Oh! Show, on our innocent species, a little pity

Oh! Don’t make our peaceful habitats your noisy city

Your so-called heaven poses a hateful hell to us

Don’t throttle our breath with your intrusion curse.

Oh! Please do spare us

Oh! Please care for us,

O’ the biped cruel, deaf predators

Please listen to our piteous prayers.
