One More Before the Night Ends

Did you see that squirrel scamper up the tree?
He hides where none of his kin will be seen
Sleeping so soundly in the dead of winter,
Where death claims all the trees around him.
Did you see him?
Nor did I, I knew the answer when I asked the question
For the squirrels are quiet this time of night,
Taking care not to be sighted by the eyes of the predators,
By those that seek to devour them
Did you know the truth to?
Sure you did, go and believe what you will,
The rodent doesn't need you to live through his plight,
He'll be snug, and he'll be cozy,
Faithfully cuddled around his babes,
With his little squirrely wife at his side.
And as those little ones suckle for milk,
He'll go out again, and shamelessly be involved,
In a tragic hit and run,
Oh no one will investigate as he drags himself to the edge of the road,
But his family will ponder in fearful curiousity,
The fate that befell the head of their clan,
And as the speeding contraptions fly by him,
And he sees in the snowy skies God's plan for his existence,
He'll sigh a deep sigh,
For none of this was worth it,
For even though he knows it, he never understood it,
The fact that he is what he is,
A squirrel in heart and soul,
Road kill on the side of the road.
