Mother O Mother.
What has happened where am I?
Mother, please come back .
Why are you sleeping, you can't be mother!?
How will I be able to leave my home without you?

Run little Joey, they are coming, lookout for them!
Mother why? I won't leave I can't.
I'm bound to you forever...
No, little one you are free from me.
Watch out for them my little Joey..

I can't move her body is pressing against me.
I hear voices surrounding us .
I continue struggling I can't move.
" Yo Maul a mot thoer ooo".
What do those words mean, what type of animal is this?

I feel my mothers weight slowly get lifted from my body.
I cringe at the sudden brightness of light.
Two tall figures are above me talking in a different language.
They take me away from my mother; my home.
I start struggling biting, scratching, anything.
I feel a slight prick in my neck, and everything gets dark.

When I wake I am moving but at the same time , I am not.
Those animals are in the front laughing.
I watch silently as we slow down…
How is this happening? How can we move?
I hear noises that startle me and other animals appear.

I see a slight shine in their grasp.
The other animals seem to be fighting.
Someone grabs me but again there is that noise.
I fall roughly to the ground soon after.
Again my world gets black..

I wake in a world different than my own
How did I get here?
I see others of my kind hopping freely
I go up to one, my legs a little numb
I try to get one's attention

When it turns around I'm shocked!
Its eyes are cold and unfeeling.
I try communicating with it, but it just turns around.
I try again and it pushes me.. a warning.
I look around every one is acting the same I shiver: I'm alone.
*********
Mother, why did you leave me?
What did I do to deserve this?
I look back to the time I first got here.
That was 3 long years ago.
My eyes are slowly becoming dim.

Those animals come and watch me every day.
They feed us, thinking they are helping.
When they are killing us, with not be able to think .
Or feel, we no longer have our instincts.
They do everything for us.

I'm tired sometimes I want to...
Just curl up and go into the deep sleep.
Sometimes though the two- legged animals can amuse us.
Though not very often.
I see the others eating and wandering.
Stealing glances of the world around them.
Perhaps they also see what I see…

5 years Mother since the day you left.
My end is finally here.
I managed to have one young one.
Although I hope the weird animals will be kinder to it.
Maybe it'll be different for her.

I left my young one just like you did.
Except I managed to prepare her Mother.
I hate you Mother, and yet I love you.
I am finally going to see you again.
I hope you are waiting for me.
For I have been waiting for you…
