Extinct Me Not

Why am I seeing fewer and fewer blue friends flying around? They must be migrating to a better place, a place that isn't constantly being revived by those massive machines spraying out water onto the trees of my home. Don't they understand that bringing these machines with water is only making things worst. We're not solving the problem, were masking who is truly to blame, and that is the 2 legged ones.

The 2 leggeds that stand on two feet, have different fur, features, some are long and tall, some are short and wide, but they always seem to come, acting like they are helping the situation. I fly around and am barely noticed, but we notice them, we all do. We see you from the top of the trees, we watch as you hike and talk some gibberish language, that at times has to be screamed for anyone to hear.

We want to understand what you're saying, but every time you come, you're putting out fires, and every time you leave, you leave without any real understanding of us or what it means to have our homes taken from us.

This is where we were raised, we don't know anything else. We have our habits as you have yours. We fly, you walk. We embrace nature, you destroy it. There are a few of you that are always looking up at us, trying to take in our beauty, trying to get a glimpse or freeze the memory of us in your brain, before you're no longer able to do that. We understand that there are fewer of us each day, and we know it doesn't look good for the rest of us.

But we continue to fly, and we continue to hope that things will get better for us.

We remember what the world used to look like before our homes were being taken away. Before the flames erupted, before the trees were cut, before the blue sky slowly turned grey. We don’t take our days for granted, because we know that we are one with our home, and if one becomes extinct we eventually all will.

the star lit skies, or the beauty of a larger then life tree.

I've flown into your world, I've seen how the 2 leggeds move, work, and interact with each-other. When we fly by, we're looking, we're trying to understand why and how your world got the way it did. We see trash on the ground, we see smoke in the air, we see clutter, and smell sewage. When we enter your world we can't wait to get back to ours.

We don’t understand why the two leggeds cannot coexist with anything other then themselves. We see them as selfish, and clueless to the beauty they are surrounded with. Its as if they forgot how to be, enjoy, and sit with themselves and nature. It’s as if they forget to look up, and enjoy the star lit skies, or the beauty of a larger then life tree.

But what is different about your world and ours, is that we don't have the two leggeds you do, we don't have the ability to pick up trash, to plant seeds, to nourish plants, we need you to do that for us. We will continue to spread our wings, and decorate the sky, so you can continue to gaze and take in the magic of our world. We will continue to share our thunderous boing, sparkle the sky with our marvelous blues.

So please two leggeds, we ask of you to lift your heads to the sky, remember we are apart of your world, and ensure we can continue to be.
