Insects One: Humans Nil
our precious planet starts to heat
this climate change we cannot beat
carbon cutback we try to cheat
land-ice now melts sea levels rise
more water vapour fills our skies
is this the start of our demise
rainfall increasing everywhere
on this we see the facts are clear
as land mass starts to disappear
on taking action we are shy
preferring always to deny
but nature says adapt or die
some species will survive the change
for they evolve by quick exchange
their dna they rearrange
survival favours all insects
for they withstand extreme effects
as exoskeleton protects
huge dragonflies will fill the air
most sea creatures will also fare
but mankind to be seen nowhere
