Once here, now forgotten
Once alive, now dead.
Once free, now imprisoned
Now only thoughts inside our heads.
Please human let not
My death be in vain
Or all of Earth's creatures
Fate will treat the same.
Non-existent I stand:
Now Forgotten, Once here.
You cannot bring me back,
The past you must fear.
Once I too roamed here,
But now I am gone.
So I leave it to you human,
To right this wrong.
If you flock together,
Strong you can be.
Grab their attention,
And force them to see.
But if you continue
Down this dangerous path
The price you will pay
And suffer nature's wrath.
Carry my message
Let my voice ring clear.
I may be forgotten
But once I was here.
