The deer in headlights
Who remembers your license plate,
Encourages you with bleats
To stop the vehicle.
Animal cruelty
Full of eulogies has weight.
The driver drives straight down the road
And a car tailgates.
Dear,
Oh, Deer.
The deer who
Remembers your
License plate.
A pulse is unchecked
From the distraction of road rage.
Blood that runs through his hollowness
Is forever lost.
Old age comes and the deer
Remembers your license plate,
Escaping the wilderness
Just to be in a cage.
Dear,
Oh, Deer.
The deer who
Remembers your
License plate.
