I was once a mighty creature.
The Mayans treated me as a a God.
My brothers and sister roamed the land,
feared by everything .
No Mayan weapons it seemed
could penetrate are skins
Then the Spaniards came with their magic weapons
Killing us for are majestic coats.
Now my older brothers and sisters are going extinct
Most live in a cage
disguised to look like the wild.
Those that are wild,
men are slowly taking away their home
to make more comfortable things they do not need.
