Wildness is a quality
Its everywhere around
Godliness is guaranteed
In every cell its found
Take the Coho Salmon
Sometimes found in streams
Where wildness is apparent
But the sensitIve hear screams
When rainfall raises depths
And washes litter down
Tyre dust off the country roads
Preservatives that drown.

Elastomers that cause
Wildness to keel over
And all of this outdoors
Humans, we apparently
Need science but the fish
You see are crafted sensitively
More so than the human
And they perish instantly
Just because they are
fish
We do not hear their pain
It works into our karma
Over and over again
Hooked, mouths, cut up on a board
Carnivores don’t care
Only the vegan angels
Really are aware
