Habitat, Theirs Or Ours?

As our habitat grows
Is it our selfishness
Do we think of the wildlife
In our world of bliss
 
The cougar will encroach
On our habitat grounds
And because he is there
Will we take him down
 
And the Duskey Seaside Sparrow
What of she
We have blanked her existence
From all living tree's
 
As all creatures will hear
From the words below
As we encroach on your habitat
Future years will show
 
We must learn now
For tomorrow's too late
How many in my lifetime
Through the extinction gate

I love this one too. Some people think that conservation is a fad. You display that your belief in conservation is not a fad. We need more people in the world like you.
