Murry Darling Carpet Phython

Slithering on the muddy ground
No habitat around, just bareness
Curling into a spiral, being alone
No food, no water, how am I going to survive?
My family is vulnerable, only a few of us left
Trying to find somewhere to shelter
Rain trickling down my slithery skin
Insects hopping away like they're scared of me
My family trying to comfort me; it doesn't work
Starting to burn up the anger
Humans have stolen our beautiful land
Overgrazing, nowhere to live
I splurt out a big hiss
I try to calm, but the sadness just comes
Crying uncontrollably in my miniature bundle of sadness
When will this end?
