The Sixth Mass Extinction

THE SIXTH MASS EXTINCTION (Manmade this time) The sixth extinction is at hand It's grasp extends to sea and land Earth shone blue in darkness of space Extending its welcome to a human race Earth long was seen as a life giving planet Many animals too made their homes on it Humans judged they were subjacent to none Dominated all creatures under the sun Animals are not lesser because they aren't human Humans are lesser for what they did to them The natural order mandated life's forces But Man's greed drained earths' resources Earth was the planet once singular in space Now has the color been drained from its face Earth was a planet of great singularity Nothing can now return earth's parity Earth once a planet of green and blue Faces a change in the shade of its hue Life was the reason for earth's special place It's now gone and earth is a cold rock in space A creature called Man caused this cosmic disaster The Cosmos declared Man not allowed hereafter ELIZABETH SMITH
