Help the Koalas

I am a koala, we are endangered and need a helping hand
We need assistance, everyone needs to understand
We all want to live a good life, just like you
Don’t burn my homeland, without a clue
My land has been destroyed by fires
Everyone said they would repair and fix it, they all are liars
My parents and friends, all destroyed in the flame
More of them are coming, I will be dead all the same
I live in the safety of the eucalyptus trees
I need help to build my home again, please
A small assistance would make a huge difference to my life
Save me from all my fears, worries and strife
Everyone says we don’t have a chance, we will die
But we do, our numbers can fly
You just need to try more, to try to save all of them
Koalas’ lives are at risk, they are not to condemn
What can we do to help, you might ask
Don’t feed them with your own food, give them a task
Let them live in the wild, don’t keep them captive
Help the koalas, let them live!
