CONNETICUT MOUNTAIN LION
Spotted you were~
But they said you were not there~
To the area extinct~
Leaving your cave bare.
People swore they seen you~
But they said you were wiped out~
Vanished from this spot~
Your continuation was a doubt.
Your coat of pewter was seen on the run~
But they said your kin all died out~
Destroyed and we all to blame~
Their denial they did spout!
They’re story stayed the same!
Heard your cries were~
But they denied your existence~
Doubting your survival~
They official showed much resistance!
However now came the time~
With an unfortunate proof ending~
You are certainly here~
With your way of life pending.
Oh you beautiful creature~
If your being can stay~
Hopefully we will treat you different~
Co-existing to enjoy your way.
Come live amongst us again~
If we promise not to hurt you~
Come climb the mountains~
Once again~
Let what is left of the land lift you!
Let us hear your nightly calls once more~
Let us glimpse your muscular body safe from you~
Let us pray your species has been in this domain renewed!

Hyphenbird & BkCreative Thank You both for visting, and leaving such wonderful comments...Blessings
At one time I used to say how sad when an animal became endangered but no - now I say how savage. How savage to destroy an animal after we have destroyed the habitat and then have the nerve to say they are a scary nuisance - all they want is food, clear air and a place to live safely. Something I want.
We forget that we are meant to share the earth with the other animals not destroy everything we touch. There is no excuse for this savagery.
Thanks for a loving reminder.
These cats are so beautiful and very endangered. We humans have taken their territories away. Thanks for this tribute to them.

Fiddleman & Peggy W ---thank You so much for stopping by!
And Fiddleman I also have heard them also called Pumas if that is how you spell it? I am not sure...Blessings to all...Hopefully we can live in harmony with our great cats...
Once when hiking in Yosemite National Park, my girlfriend and I caught a glympse of one. They are such majestic looking cats. Hopefully they can live and their species prosper amongst we humans who keep infringing upon their natural territories.
Great hub, a big cat has recently been spotted near where I live, most likely a Mountain Lion or as the old timers called them Panters.
