Save My Land
By Ryan H

I love my friends, I love my land,
But everyone pretends that we are all fine.
Who knows that I am?
Who knows that I’m not?
I miss my family, I miss the trees,
I miss the worry-free days, please let me be free,
Soon I won’t be here,
Soon no one will.
But it’s hard to savour, because we need to fulfil,
The regrowing of trees must be a favour,
What can I do?
All I can do is watch, and everyone is going.
But when does it stop?
I am a Koala, living with fear,
Today I am alive, but who knows until,
We all go away.
