Ere We Forget
ERE WE FORGET
******
to be at one with nature... why we should...
it's what sustains all life... for our own good...
we... the minority... have begged humans...
to abide by mother natures demands...
to think she has rules... no... there what we make...
to dig... and bury... no more can we fake...
it's right there... we look... our eyes blind to truth...
for to long the majority have... strewth...
all life now suffering our dreadful wrongs...
still not yet learned nature doesn't suffer pongs...
natures beauty... we've often been amazed...
on telly... let us not deny... we've praised...
procrastinating.... we'll start tomorrow...
the time is now... there's none left to borrow...
we're already in a mass extinction...
no... it is not at all science fiction...
two-hundred plus a day... gone forever...
were talking species... that is not clever...
the majority produce what we breathe...
it's a fact... nature we cannot deceive...
to articulate all our misgivings...
i've tried many methods of signaling...
in my locality i am vocal...
i write poetry... am i quotable...
apparently... no one seems to think... care...
that all life's future is looking... yes... bare...
not only nature do we treat badly...
not satisfied with that... we then... sadly...
we kill for amusement... our own... mindless...
of the tragedy... forgetting kindness...
