Yes, speak

Yes, speak for animals
And not for individuals
The individuals are selfish
As they want to finish the wildlife

We have cut the jungles
There is no room for sparrows
The parrots and cuckoos have disappeared
Everybody is on run and their life is feared

We go for the hunt
Kill them when come to quench the thirst
We aim at their existence
They are becoming extinct and no more chance to revive

Where is the natural habitat?
We have made it as the picnic spot
The people are taken in closed cars
Their natural life is disturbed by visitors

The animal is tied to the tree
And lions attack in their free domain
This is done for just a few rupees
The visitors enjoy such trips

God only knows how many species are killed daily
We look at them without any mercy
Our encroachment extends day by day
Can anyone suggest or find the way?
