I have every right
You see
To raise my young
To roam
Free

I have every right
You see
To simply meet
Our
Basic needs

I have every right
You see
To glide above
From
Tree to tree

I have every right
You see
To future habitat
Secure from
Greed

I have every right
You see
To expect you to hear
A mother’s
Plea

I have every right
You see…

Can’t you simply
Leave us
Be?

Delete, delete
And then
Repeat
Got to keep the inbox
Neat

Delete, delete
And then
Repeat
The task ahead
A daunting
Feat

Delete, delete
And then
Repeat
Endless spam
Is no real
Treat

Delete, delete
And then
Repeat
My hand is cramped
My fingers
Weak

Delete, delete
And then
Repeat
Will this ever
Be
Complete?

Delete, delete
And then
Repeat
I surrender
I’ve been
Beat
