Behind the smile of a quokka

Behind their subtle smile
Lies a secret
As their population falls
With a twitch of an ear and a welcoming frame
They keep smiling on
"The happiest animal in the world"
They call them
They don't know that
Deadly diseases ravage them daily
Constantly hunted
They don't know that
Behind their subtle smile
Lies a secret
