The Polar Bear
Oh mothers of the world stand before your mirrors of
Self-reflections, now gather all kindred near, now just
For one moment imagine them disappearing, vaporizing into
The thinnest of air?
This realization is the future fate of the polar bear,
Look into the eyes of this beautiful creature of nature,
Behold she is completely unaware of the meaning of
Extension, this mother only knows her cubs
Are hunger, and there is not enough food to feed them?
The season of the ice grows shorter, the seal
Population has grown less and less every year,
And the Arctic Tundra of her youth has faded away?
The wilderness is vanishing, as man kind enters
This frozen arena of ice and snow, these creatures
Are running out of elbow room.
The mother bears cubs may soon become just
A numbered statistic, or even worse,
To the bitter reality of certain death, it’s time
We do something about it before it’s too late?
Many other species face the same finality,
Yet humanity turns a blind eye to this truth of realism,
What if in the future that mirror is fact not fiction for
Are kind as well!
Again mothers look deeply into the eyes of this
She mother Polar Bear, than again face this reflections
View at yourself, can you not hear the cries of her young,
As their bellies grumble for food substance!
Soon she this proud beast of artic freedom,
This wild symbol of Alaskan wilderness,
May have to choose which cub shall live or
Must die, so that at least one survives,
Which cub of humanity would you so close?
It is up to us the children of humanity,
To make some kind of difference in this world,
Or the only place the Polar Bears will be seen
Is in an inter-city zoo, but even their these
Creatures are in trouble, for the breeding
Programs have run out of fresh bloods DNA,
To produce heathy mating stock?
The future is becoming uncertain for many
Species, it’s all up to us now to make the
World at large a better place to co-exist,
With others on this big blue world of ours?
Until than don’t forget it’s their planet two,
The Polar Bears, tigers, lions, and so many
Others of God’s divine creation!
