The Lament
Written on 12/13/2022
By Gail R DeBole
They invaded and built things so large.
Didn’t they know that we were in charge?
It’s been years since the fields were pure.
We don’t know if there is a cure.
We squawk all the time, and our families still grow.
The invaders don't respect us and don't seem to know
That they are all wrong and we geese are right.
We don’t deserve this treatment and may have to fight.
Please tell us why you built houses where we all live
Right on our homeland and bathrooms - tell us, what gives?
