The Last One
by Patt Paulos-Darrow
I am the only one left, I am alone.
I was hunted till my kind were gone.
What makes man want to do this?
Because I am something different, they have to kill?
Sentinels must never be destroyed.
Too bad no one told them that.
When you hear about Sentinel tears you will know why.
How can I live with no others like me?
I cannot, so I will be gone also.
We will have nothing left on this earth to have remembered.
Sadness overtakes me, I know not what to say or do.
Maybe man will be more careful if they learn about us.
My Guide will help spread the word.
Everything else that is sacred,
Should never have to die in vain.
