Ralph Taylor Poet Rhyme

Attention Animal Lovers

The Endangered Species Act
referred to as The ESA
is currently having problems
that may not go away.

Several species of wildlife
many a beautiful beast
Could very well become extinct 
they're endangered to say the least!

Culprits, don't really seem to care
but they're at fault it's true
Oil Companies, Loggers, Special Interest Groups
just to name a few!

Global warming destroys their habitat,
their ability to hunt and such
Urban and Agricultural development
also don't help that much.

The aforementioned culprits and others
have undermined the ESA.
Some endangered species were left off the list,
"conveniently" needless to say!

The Grizzly Bear and Bighorn Sheep,
the Jaguar and Whooping Crane,
the Black Footed  Ferret and Canada Lynx
are some that I can name.

All these animals are quite unique,
there's really quite an array.
So we all gotta do whatever we can
to support the ESA.

Audrey Haick February 22, 2011 at 9:07 PM Thanks for sharing this Ralph. Sometimes a sense of helplessness is felt but if we all write to our State Legislators and Senators, it could make a big difference. This lack of respect for nature does not end... as one battle is won, another erupts. Always, Annalise

Tahera Mannan February 22, 2011 at 8:32 PM This is so lovely. I am an animal lover and loved your work. A beautiful dedication.

Robert Pettit February 22, 2011 at 7:43 PM You have made your point quite clearly with great descriptive wording and rhyming. It is already too late for some species such as the passenger pidgeon, European wisent, and the Javan tiger.
