My kind has lived

in these forests for a thousand years

yet the humans think

this land is theirs

they stalk me

through the woods

like I’m a vicious animal

their traps litter my trails all I want is a life of peace and privacy

why must the humans hunt me down

and make me miserable?

what have I done?

I eat mushrooms and berries…

not human children

I am greatly misunderstood

and sooner or later, they will catch me.

Soon, the Sasquatch will be gone forever.
