Image for the poem it makes my heart sink

it makes my heart sink

hello little kitty what did you do?
poor little thing lost, natural selection made a cut
not bright enough to avoid the road
it makes me so sad and I get angry

little bird fly high avoid the risk
why do you play chicken with moving cars, don't you know the danger?
with a splay of feathers on my windshield you made me feel horrible
killing one of nature's finest
I stopped to find you on the road, unrecognizable

tiny dog what are you doing
chasing cars it will be your undoing
ran over, you lay dead in the street
my heart broken you thought life was a game

innocence, I wonder what happens to an animal whose life is cut short
are you reincarnated and given another shot?

animals of the forest please heed my warning
stay off the roads
one day when I was little one you was hit my dad's car
you lay on the street my soul's heart sank
a buck my dad took if for a trophy
gentle deers please avoid humans

mother chicken what is wrong with you
leading your chicks to peck out front on the highway
the big rigs will kill your whole cluck
come on little ones you mom is dumb

there's a killer on the road to quote Jim Morrison
avoid him at all cost
it's nautre's reckoning
