The Evidence

i feel a chill in the air and the fog and shadows
hear hoots of owls and howls of wolves
they move in darkness they hide in shallows
they hunt by night as they march to battle
use moon for light long claws to fight
their teeth and beaks kept sharp as knives
they scratch and bite seek meat for life
they eat and they kill to their own delight
wild animals drink blood like wine
and feast and dine with primal minds
what defines a beast? the growls and squeaks?
these savage sounds are the way they speak
even bugs and insects talk with clicks
usings buzzing chirps and their legs as instruments
they use sight and sound they smell the ground
and when they find a mate they dance around
some eat cadavers use shells as shelters
some dig in the ground others fly with feathers
in the ocean deeps theres such freakish creatures
they swim underneath all the seas and glaciers
some leap in the air like kangaroos
some use camoflauge as a tool to confuse
the eyes of eagles are not like peoples
they see so clear they spot mice in fields
and the bats use sonar to track and locate
and snatch up moths like coins at arcades
the tricks and the trades of the animal kingdom
we can learn so much when we start to see them
design and structure and form and function
the whole creation put in place by someone
all these natural wonders and hidden clues
many facts to ponder in the life we choose
this is the evidence
