we abandon<br \/>\nWe just  ran away<br \/>\nAnd left whatever we did there<br \/>\nTo create the new decay<\/p>\n<p>Where life appears to continue<br \/>\nThe animal earthlings they<br \/>\nMove in and take up residence<br \/>\nAs soon as we go away<br \/>\nDespite all our affection<br \/>\nAnd sentient nature, they<br \/>\nCant wait to see the back of us<br \/>\nFor then they move in and say<\/p>\n<p>Good riddance to the human tribes<br \/>\nDestroyers of the air<br \/>\nThe water and the land on which they grow<br \/>\nFood, unaware<br \/>\nOf the poisons they created<br \/>\nAnd applied them everywhere<br \/>\nNot only were not sustainable<br \/>\nBut brought down on us despair<\/p>\n<p>Their inordinate power of ignorance<br \/>\nFor our destiny which they<br \/>\nWith arrogance  and for profit<br \/>\nThey basically threw away<br \/>\nHow much hatred in their hearts<br \/>\nAnd aversion in their soul<br \/>\nAnd malice and resentment<br \/>\nIn their wish to just control<\/p>\n<p>To put their stamp on all our lives<br \/>\nIts unwelcome and its true<br \/>\nWe cannot wait to watch you leave<br \/>\nFor then may be the crew<br \/>\nThe mammals and the birds<br \/>\nCan ascertain and try to be<br \/>\nLiving in our bubble<br \/>\nAnd believing we are free<\/p>\n<p>In Chernobyl where radiation<br \/>\nIs scattered all about<br \/>\nWe know there is something badly wrong<br \/>\nWe do suffer the doubt<br \/>\nBut we just get on with living<br \/>\nIn the wilderness of will<br \/>\nIn utter desolation<br \/>\nAnd yes we feel that chill<\/p>\n<p>As we forage many undisturbed<br \/>\nBy the vagaries of man<br \/>\nThere is nothing kind about you<br \/>\nWe really were no fan<br \/>\nWe put up with your evil<br \/>\nYour empty houses now<br \/>\nEvidence of your ugliness<br \/>\nAnd why we are, no cash cow<\/p>\n<p>It will never be a sanctuary<br \/>\nIn human terms but we<br \/>\nAre living for however long<br \/>\nIn our own harmony<br \/>\nAnd that for us is something<br \/>\nLiving without fear<br \/>\nOf being shot shot and murdered<br \/>\nBy your low life that came here<\/p>\n<p>Then at Kolmanskop Namibia<br \/>\nYou made your diamond mines<br \/>\nYou threatened every living soul<br \/>\nAnd couldn&#8217;t see the signs<br \/>\nThe sky went black<br \/>\nTheir air was sick<br \/>\nThe water courses too<br \/>\nEverywhere around this place<br \/>\nWas doomed because of you<\/p>\n<p>We horses can forgive you<br \/>\nBut we did not run away<br \/>\nWe felt the ruination<br \/>\nBut to do this would display<br \/>\nA very uncaring attitude<br \/>\nFor Mother nature who<br \/>\nHad so designed this area<br \/>\nAnd so however few<\/p>\n<p>Months we have together here<br \/>\nIts worth so much to us<br \/>\nWe are free to make our own decisions<br \/>\nAnyway we discuss<br \/>\nOur futures and we live our lives<br \/>\nFree of your human stress<br \/>\nAnd that freedom it means everything<br \/>\nAnd our nerves we can redress<\/p>\n<p>In Bangkok the NEW  world shopping mall<br \/>\ngreat ponds we have there<br \/>\n16,000 feet of it<br \/>\nWhich all of us can share<br \/>\nThe mosquito&#8217;s they took over<br \/>\nBut the likes of us<br \/>\nThe Koi and yes the Catfish<br \/>\nThere is nothing to discuss our joy<\/p>\n<p>We fill our rampant bellies<br \/>\nWith the larvae of the many<br \/>\nThe multitude how they exude<br \/>\nReally there isn&#8217;t any<br \/>\nReason to miss humans<br \/>\nWho caught us when they could<br \/>\nAnd ate us line and sinker<br \/>\nAnd of course that wasn&#8217;t good<br \/>\nSo now we have some freedom<br \/>\nWe have the sunlight too<br \/>\nIt permeates our being<br \/>\nAnd we all enjoy the view<\/p>\n<p>In Jumanji thats in Finland<br \/>\nAn old derelict place<br \/>\nThe house in the woods we call it<br \/>\nIts where we made our base<br \/>\nA dozen species coexist<br \/>\nIn harmony and its plain<br \/>\nIt works there is no human fear<br \/>\nWhich drove us all insane<\/p>\n<p>Pripyat the place of Chernobyl<br \/>\nI come back to it we<br \/>\nKnew the radiation would be here<br \/>\nFor eternity<br \/>\n20&#8217;000 years or more<br \/>\nAn extended world of strife<br \/>\nBut in honesty a few months<br \/>\nOf humans not here strife<\/p>\n<p>Is worth the dangerous goings on<br \/>\nUs wolves and rodents we<br \/>\nLiving and dying  together<br \/>\nIn a place of harmony<br \/>\nShot to death and skinned alive<br \/>\nAnd trapped for all we were worth<br \/>\nTo you it was for our skins and fur<br \/>\nYou plundered Planet Earth<\/p>\n<p>Its no mans land and good as well<br \/>\nFor all you did was spoil<br \/>\nDump your shit around the place<br \/>\nIt made our blood boil<br \/>\nThe water once so sweet and clean<br \/>\nWas filthy just like you<br \/>\nThe leaves once green<br \/>\nTurned black as night<br \/>\nFor that is  what you do<\/p>\n<p>In no mans land<br \/>\nIn South Korea, on the borders we<br \/>\nThe White necked Cranes the Amur Rats<br \/>\nThe Black bears we could be<br \/>\nThe Amur Leopard and the musk Deer<br \/>\nWe found our fortune here<br \/>\nNo hunters with their vile interpretations<br \/>\nDo appear<\/p>\n<p>So side by side we manage<br \/>\nThe balance has remained<br \/>\nWe all are friends together<br \/>\nThat must we have gained<br \/>\nThe squabbling and fighting<br \/>\nThe evil that we saw<br \/>\nHas gone from our lives actually<br \/>\nWe have peace we have no war<\/p>\n<p>Despite the loads of Land mines<br \/>\nAfter your  Falklands war<br \/>\nUs penguins enjoy freedom<br \/>\nLike we never did before<br \/>\nWe see that some explosions happen<br \/>\nBut we sense now where they be<br \/>\nAnd how to go about life<br \/>\nThough its tense still we are free<\/p>\n<p>We have the independence<br \/>\nOf knowing its down to how<br \/>\nWe attempt to get through this<br \/>\nAs we live in the now<br \/>\n20&#8217;000 mines ago<br \/>\nWe lived here and we played<br \/>\nLove is what we all possess<br \/>\nThat is our stock in trade<\/p>\n<p>In New York the mass transit cars<br \/>\nThe red birds we are here<br \/>\nAgain we are a unit<br \/>\nOf peace and never fear<br \/>\nThe lead shot of existence<br \/>\nThat once you fired and we<br \/>\nExploded in your rotten sport<br \/>\nSo called our destiny<\/p>\n<p>On Okuno Shina Island<br \/>\nUs Rabbits thrive and play<br \/>\nBunnies come and bunnies go<br \/>\nEvery single day<br \/>\nThe streets are filled with all of us<br \/>\nOur fur is ours to keep<br \/>\nAngora might be your desire<br \/>\nBut we live our lives and reap<\/p>\n<p>What ever you have abandoned<br \/>\nLeft to us to be<br \/>\nRe balancing the areas<br \/>\nOf  forest and of sea<br \/>\nThe indigenous lands<br \/>\nThe holy trails<br \/>\nThe pristine lakes of old<br \/>\nThat you never looked after<br \/>\nWhilst mining for your gold<\/p>\n<p>We are taking over<br \/>\nWe are making good<br \/>\nWe are living our pure lives<br \/>\nWe may be misunderstood<br \/>\nWe may live only a short time<br \/>\nBut in perfect harmony<br \/>\nWe all are earthlings actually<br \/>\nWhich we shall always be<\/p>\n<p>Maybe we are communists<br \/>\nMaybe we are just<br \/>\nLiving loving creatures<br \/>\nFree of sin and lust<br \/>\nFor other peoples lands and rivers<br \/>\nFor other peoples soul<br \/>\nYour greed we buried long ago<br \/>\nWhen we took over the role<\/p>\n<p>Of keepers of this planet<br \/>\nOf all the sweetest air<br \/>\nOf all the cool fresh water<br \/>\nThat now is everywhere<br \/>\nOf course there is predation<br \/>\nBut the slaughterhouses they<br \/>\nHave all gone by the wayside<br \/>\nWhen you lot went away<\/p>\n<p>How I Was able to write this  poem<br \/>\nWas having read a post on &#8220;the beginning&#8221;<br \/>\nAbout men and women all being earthlings on the planet<br \/>\nAnd the animals taking over those places we abandon<\/p>\n<p>This page is shared between Claudia my dearest friend<br \/>\nAnd I, we admin this page please go and like it<br \/>\nAnd let us all take this poem to drive us all to<br
