"THE TRIAL"

Way up on the mountains so far from it all A crystal clear lake not yet polluted by man

Trees of life standing proud and strong Form my castle, for I will be king while I can.

"Come animals, have no fear of me."What is that you ask graceful deer.

Yes I am here because i am free Living in peace is for all I care."

"Could you not find peace with your own?" Said an owl so wise.

"I wish to forget my old home could you atleast give me a try."

'Your race is destructive they are slowly tearing us down. They burn our homes and kill us for sport.

How do we know you won't be the same if you are around. I heard what the fox was saying and gave it much thought.

"I wish you no harm" As I defended myself."I just want to live in peace.

My knowledge could be your wealth, i agree that man is the beast."

"Just what knowledge do you think you own, man?' Asked the giant grizzly bear.

'Do you think you are strong enough to live off the land, without a mate you will live in despair."

"Oh" I replied I'll be strong enough to survive, and your wrong I won't be alone.

'I have much will to stay alive and my women will be here wjen i finnish our home.

"No" the animals shouted with anger and hate,"you will start the cycle over again.

For you will have children as sure as fate and animal and man cannot remain friends.

Way up in the mountains so far away from it allare the bones of one lone man.

He fought brave and very strong.And he died saying" I will be King while I can.
