Goodbye

Goodbye Mr Tiger,

your eyes they burned so bright.

I’ll think of all their golden charm

when I close my own at night.

Goodbye Mr Elephant,

so mighty, the ground it shook.

I’ll keep alive your memory

when I read my storybook.

Goodbye Mr Leopard,

so stealthy and so shy.

I wish it didn’t end this way,

I wish you did not die.

Goodbye Mother Nature,

so generous, so pure.

I don’t blame you for leaving us,

we’re sick and there’s no cure.

Goodbye fellow human,

I guess I’ll be alone.

When nothing else was left to kill,

it seems we killed our own.
