Extinction

A land forgotten in time
A land foreign and unkind
A land of prehistoric finds
A land of dinosaur’s tribe.

Tall creatures warm and gentle
Large creatures ferocious fury hell
Medium creatures silent, deadly fell
Small creatures reconstructed for sale.

Gusting winds bring gentle rain
Jutting mountains range the same
Alert animals step up to the game
Vicious attacks feel no pain.

T-Rex wanders through the tops of trees
Raptors bring prey to their knees
Brontosaurs live happy and free
Eggs hatch into the world and can see.

A land time forgot
A land all for naught
A land should be taught
A land we couldn't stop.

Fast and cunning are some
Large and smart are one
Reptiles and birds are none
Prehistoric dinosaurs are done.

The hunt and the kill
The predator preys at will
Some say their fate is sealed
Just a dream or are they real?

No one man really knows their nature
But one thing you can be sure
They weren't cute, that's a lure
Dysfunction, distress is there a cure?

Animals roamed the earth before man
Sixty million years before first stand
A shame they are gone and can
Not return to live with man.
