`~* I No Longer Live, Remember Me *~`

There was a time that we

roamed this wilderness

proud and free.

Then we became hunted

relentlessly.

```

Pleas to save us time and

again were denied.

The government said 

it\'s hands were tied.

We no longer exist 

our breed has died.

```

Today we\'re all exterminated.

Trappers and hunters

were motivated,

by bounties or salary.

I no longer live,

remember me.

```

Humans in airplanes 

to our dread.

Shot us down 

from overhead.

None of us survived

this bloodshed.

```

Like the buffalo 

that once survived 

by the score.

We met their fate,

we are no more.

```

Saving us was not 

a priority!

We were lost in a sea.

of predatory bureaucracy.

I no longer live,

remember me~
