I walked in the woods, i felt tired, 

So i decided to change my route where people stared at me and admired!!


I often ate what people gave, 

I felt they were good who never betrayed!


I was a mother to be, and was feeling very hungry,

I hardly knew that was my last day in God's own country!!


I saw people coming to me,they gave me a pineapple to eat,

I was happy and ate it all alone,i never knew, later i had to weep!


As soon as i ate i could hear a loud sound, 

My mouth tore into pieces with a bleeding wound!


I wept, i cried with my baby inside, 

People dint bother to hear my cry!


Was it my fault to believe those people ? 

A pineapple filled with crackers was fed to me because i am an animal!


I wish i could see my baby and die, 

I pray God to save other animals as humans will never try!!
