~~~ I was a bear once ~~~

~~~ I was a bear once ~~~

 When I was younger, I used to stare
 Into a life, when I was a bear
 It's taken me this long, to now share
 That in a previous life, I was a bear

 Catching salmon, with my claws
 And making footprints with my paws
 No one cared about my flaws
 I lived my life, by natures laws

 I was a happy bear, not bi-polar
 I would never endorse coca cola
 I wasn't black or full of misery
 I was brown and fierce, a real grizzly

 I lived my life in the Alaskan wild
 I had a wife and a child
 But I left them, to wander alone
 Until one day I entered a 'non bear' zone

 I didn't know, I was just having fun
 I never saw the ranger or his gun
 Shots were fired, to body and head
 And that's when I guess? I was dead

 But then I awoke, crying and small
 Into a place called a 'hospital'
 No bears there, just human babies
 With proud fathers and prouder ladies

 there was something about me?
 I just put it down to insanity
 But I grew up in their world around me
 And I fitted into their society

 I was reminded of what I was before
 When I watched a program on chan 4
 About bears and how they act
 They are killing machines.. Fact!

 In my human dreams I remembered
 How I killed and dismembered
 A hiker alone upon a path
 I didn't kill him for a laugh

 And now I'm here one of you
 At least I wasn't kept in a zoo
 I still feel and act the same
 Just human now. Matthews my name
