Butterfly Quintet - Butterflies

BUTTERFLIES

Butterflies, in danger, realise,
and many have already gone extinct!
They could not adapt to climate warming.           •
The Wallbrown lost in my local precinct.           /
How many more before we realise?               /
Pollution takes no sides, kills lives!             /
I care, “Do you”, I'm asking?                   /
Think about it while your basking!         /
For climate warming now decides!      /
Butterflies are not the only ones so?/
What to do to make things as was? \
Well, think about not polluting now!   \
We have to stop it, yes somehow!        \
Don't live in denial because                    \
time is running out for many species.         \
Nothing has ever been more distinct             \
Nature's been screaming many a warning!       \
Not yet in the red, fast moving from pinked!       •
Come on before all life dies, let's get wise!
